Hi Having read the many post on here that the Coolant light comes on due the sensor in the expansion tank or the sensor in the windscreen fluid being faulty or tanks being below level of fill. I have replaced both with new sensors and the light still comes on. Both tanks are filled to the...

So having had new evaporator, duo valve etc fitted I keep getting the check coolant level warning, and lo it is low when checked. Adding leak inhibitor seems not to have inhibited it, so while I wait to get it down to Olly, any suggestions for the best thing to trace where it is coming from? I...

hi, i've got a coolant light on (as you've probably seen on my other thread), can anyone point me in the direction of the sensor please and how to access and clean it? cheers john

hi there, hope someone can help.... the coolant warning light has come on and the car has lost power (i assume this is limp mode), the coolant level is fine - any ideas what it could be? Here's hoping for a simple DIY fix :( cheers john

Hello forum, My first post here. Just got a 2002 petrol ML320. Very low mileage, great condition, nice vehicle, thus far, although a few bits and pieces have gone twang inside. Anyhow. Just spotted he engine coolant level is around an inch below the line when the engine has done 10...

Can anybody tell me where the max and min marks are on the 210 coolant bottle? I can't see them anywhere. :o The handbook is no use, either. :(

My so far faultless c250cdi appears to be losing coolant. In the last few weeks I must have put 3 litres in total over several occasions after the 'low coolant' warning appeared. This is over approx 3000 miles (inc 1500 mile french trip) in July. So, its booked in on Wednesday for routine...

Got a coolant warning level warning driving my W210 today - any chance this might be related to me having a fiddle last week with my duo valve? I'll check the levels in the morning - for the time being (I am booked into Olly week after next to change the offending duo valve) can I use generic...

My warning light came on the other day and has not gone off since. Coolant expansion tank is full of coolant and i have already taken the sensor off to have a quick check and it seems to be fine. The white plastic part inside the tank - is this a float that the sensor detects and then makes the...

I know the 203 comes with a "kettle element" type coolant heater that helps warm the coolant once the engine has started (as long as there is an excess of power coming from the alternator) but is there a way one could power this heater via a mains supply to provide some form of pre-heat? Just...

Hi, since the battery has been changed on my 1998 slk230k the coolant light has been persistantly on. I have read it could be a pre fuse in the "Secret" fuse box. Has anyone have any idea where this secret fuse box is in the car and also if its not that what it may be causing the problem...

Stupid question I know but is it easy to add coolant yourself? And what's the best type to buy? Thanks in advance

55 CLK 280 When driving, a warning symbol of a thermometer dipped in liquid appeared on the display with the text beneath saying "Coolant, check level!" The temperature gauge appeared normal at about 80° and didn't vary, the warning kept appearing and disappearing throughout the journey home...

Car is 4 months old, got in it to drive home and I was given a message on the dash telling me to top the coolant up. Thought i'd ring merc on the way home to see if this was normal...apparently they have had quite a few c220 in with a coolant issue. Booked it in anyway for them to take a look...

Evening all, my '91 W124 230TE has recently developed a coolant leak, coolant level warning light came on about a month ago and I topped it up with about a litre of coolant. It came on again today and it needed another litre, this time I had a look to find the leak and found this drop hanging...
