Hello,
Yesterday it was a bad day for my SLK. :crying:
First... a week later the "check cooler" message showed up on my display... I stopped and filled the cooler tank with about 800ml antifreeze and kept going fine until yesterday. I drove about 1000kms in this time.
Yesterday the engine management light came on... after going for 20kms the "check cooler" message showed up again, and when I stopped I had a "rough" idle of the engine.
So I went to a local repair shop to find the error codes.
I attached 2 pictures with the error codes, maybe someone can shade some light and give me an ideea what's happening.
Also the antifreeze has a weird color... like mud or clay(forgot to take a picture). The antifreeze is "D" type. It doesn't appear to be engine oil in it.
I don't think the "check cooler" and engine management light are related after reading this topic.
I hope to have an easy fix, also.
Also considering in replacing the "thermocouple"(is this the right therm?) for the antifreeze problem, maybe the antifreeze turned in to steam as I didn't find any signs of leakage.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Vlad.
P.S.: Sorry if I don't make sense. English is not my native language.
