C32 AMG coolant/Ac issues
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and have taken over my father inlaws 2001 C32 amg with 220 xxx kms(Its a daily driver, lots of highway) all maintenance done at MB and never missed a service, also new tranny at around 180 xxxkms
I've noticed two issues so far and wondering if you guys could help me out
-1st the coolant check level light has come on and stayed on (1month), I have checked the level and it is topped off(same with the windshield washer fluid), the engine temp is always within normal range and I havent noticed any power loss or tranny issues. Any Ideas??? I am hoping it's a faulty sensor
-2nd the EC Rest light has come on the first really hot day here in montreal and will not shut off. I now have no AC,
I've performed the check by holding the recirculating and defrost till they both flash, that changed nothing, any ideas
Thanks in advanced for the help, hopefully this car last with the mileage it has so I can have a bit of fun before she dies

C32 AC
Did you end up finding a solution to the AC issue?
I have re gassed and reset error codes but its still hot.
Does anyone have a solution for seemingly blocked system?
I think its blocked because the low side pulls down to a vacum... too low pressure. so.. yes the compressor is pumping.. sounds like a loud gas noise is coming from the dash.. is there an exv or something to meter the refrigerant in there? if so how do i access it?
