| Description of the problem | As i was driving i had a light come on my dash telling me i had low coolant and that i needed to have it filled. This has happened a number of times since my short ownership of this vehicle. From what i understand this is a sealed unit and should not be losing antifreeze anywhere. I had the vehicle looked at and i do not have any leaks whatsoever. When i add the coolant, it seems to be fairly low. I am concerned that i may have some big issues on my hands and could potentially have a hydro-locking of the engine problem creating a major safety issue leading to a crash. After a bit of research i am finding that the mb c63 has "head bolt" issues leading to the loss of coolant and engines blowing up and or hydro-locking. I fear this issue may happen to me and would really appreciate this being looked into as i feel mb has a certain amount of responsibility here with regards to the safety of their patrons. Thank you for hearing me. *tt |
