Sorry but can you get a better picture. Mine is just a mm lower than the "level" bar and has been for months, has yours dropped?

It's a little low. Set it up to the bar and good to go.

As said , add to level and drive for a few days, do a couple high boost runs also and see if it stays the same level

Per the manual: you can top with "potable" water.

Only distilled water if you are adding to coolant, usually coolant will already be 50/50 distilled.

When you buy mb coolant it will not be 50/50. You will have to do it yourself. Also, you are topping off about a half inch it looks like. Throw some water in it and done.

You are right although the Zerex G-05 has the 50/50 option

Thanks a lot also found this I did not knew I had..
so I topped it up to just a mm under the bar, (afraid to overfill it)
I have been driving really fast many times during very hot weather can that be why?
to be honest I am not sure I bought the car 1 year ago and have had to AMG Center for checkup fluids last year checking the car is ok ALL was ok..
But, was room for almost ½ (added 325.0 MB Anti-freeze)
Manual says: The coolant level is correct if the level:
* For cold coolant: reaches the black top part of the reservoir??? looks like must be topped up above the Level bar,
I didn't dare do that but is that correct?

I need to say WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT Boost ran the car Jesus Frk Christ WOW so much better,,,,
I am not sure why is it feels so strong now FAST LOVE It just when bought the car..
I must add there is a story behind all this, been working on the car most the day yesterday have had some minor issues felt like on Boost runs the Supercharger not really working as should, MB found no issues..
So I worked under the car "Front" working on the Fog lights, and replaced the Double Idler pulleys "Worn"
bought the Euro-charged pulley set..
the car now run totally insane as before but so much better, that hesitation when supercharger kicks in (Chirp) IS GONE and it kicks in so smooth now LOVE IT.. Miss the chirp sound but it drives so much better,,,
What did it the pulleys really?
Or missing coolant?

I can only speculate, I understand not enough coolant Inter-cooler versus Supercharge not cooled enough could that be it?
?????????????
Hate myself for not cheeking myself god damn it, but lesson learned will check more frequently now..

Here is some from the manual worth having, and this I added..










Sorry dirty engine, Super Charger area looks much better (Is my winter project Engine Detail, just need to find something that can clean Aluminium..
