Coolant loss??

Hey all, new here, recent new owner of a 2012 CLS63 with the P/P. On the highway yesterday, stepped on it a bit, noticed immediately a cloud behind me, followed by the “check coolant level” error message. Got myself pulled over and had a look, and from what I can guess, something let go around the drivers side firewall area in the coolant system. Hoping it’s nothing major :s anyone have a similar issue, or any idea what the culprit could be?

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like an OBD scan is needed Do you have an OBD scanner? Or perhaps a nearby shop that could scan you and see what the car stored?

I dropped it off at the dealership this morning. Fingers crossed it’s a minor repair 🤞🏻

Yes, cross 'em! Are you with ELW or any sort of financial buffer?

Hmmm, I see. Any good reliable independent shops in VC BC? I looked briefly but only saw dealers.........
Good luck at the dealer with it. Hope you can find an alternative unless you're happy with the service they provide.

Turns out the heater control Valve failed. $160 part. 8-10hrs labor!! 🤦🏼*♂️ Def won’t be a dealer job seeing as they can’t even get the part for another 3 weeks
