Happened to my 2000 C230 Kompressor too. Coolant light came on and even if I filled it up with new coolant, the light won't come off. Found out that the floater in the coolant container broke off, as such, it triggered the coolant light error. Bought a new coolant container (Part # 202 500 02 49) from the dealer for $76.65 + tax and replaced it myself.

Easy fix. Remove 2 nuts and the hose clamp. Just be careful when removing the sensor wiring from the underneath of the container. You will need to press the clip and pull the clip horizontally to remove it from the sensor. Then transfer the sensor from the old container to the new one and put the clip/wiring back on.
