My MB E500 4matic 2005 model showed low coolant take to workshop message for 2 weeks and I kept my eyes on temp but nothig quite happened until yesterday the dashboard went red and temp went shooting. I immediately pulled to curb and fortunately was able to leave it parked for cooling time. After sufficient cooling I opened to pour in say a bottle of water into high pressure resrvoir started the car and have been driving with no abnormal increase in temp. I have checked many times to see if water is leaking but I dont see any significant droppage in levels. I have also turned on thermostat to send in really hot air into cabin to see if any water leakage happens when it flows through the heating coils etc. I have to admit even now sometimes I see the cooolant low message coming on but no droppage in water level . I do have to take the car into MB dealer for B service. Should i ask them to check it out or will it un necessarily produce big bill.
