Mercedes Eqc problems and recalls you should know about.

I was having problems with the eqc400 and was asked how I fixed it and about what else people should worry about.

so did you buy one? I did. it had halved in price in less than 2 years, with only 6k on the clock. its a great car for the price i paid. no way would i have paid double. its so more advanced than the 13 yr old car i had, It's a great car. amazing tech and so comfortable. And i like the look of it too. If you know merc already it is so easy to transtion - its not just a massive ipad on wheels.

@@revd-london yes we have bought one and are using it for daily use it has replaced the sq8. So far we love it. Much easier to find parking as so much smaller and it’s nippy enough for town. Plus I’m a Mercedes guy. This one makes 22 Mercedes I have had in my life. Already have started modifying it. Have done a dash cam and a sprint booster which have shared video on you tube the pedal boaster makes huge difference. Makes me like the throttle feel as you can adjust it to your liking. Plus has a locking feature.

I have an eqc400 with 40k miles on it. It says coolant is low. If you check it isnt actually low its just a sensor issue. Just check it properly.

[@dharambajway2279]

your lucky. Ya some are fine. I have one that we have had no problems with. But its a common problem and not everyone will be lucky like you with it just being a sensor.

@@dharambajway2279 have you checked both coolant reservoirs. Which one is low. There are two under the bonnet. One on the left and one on the right.

[@dharambajway2279]

@@TrustMeIKnowEverything yes this is true they have two. The eqc was not correctly bleed from factory in our case but other people have had leaks which brakes front motor. I did not do the work as under warranty. I do have another one that is out of warranty but on that one so far it’s been good. If any problems happen then I’ll make video of us fixing it. So far just had some problems with the screen so made a video how to fix that.

Hi, I had the same issue. All they need to change is the reservoir cap to the red one so it can release pressure without having to do it manually. Sorts out the low coolant problem.

[@dharambajway2279]

@@user-uo1jd5lk8c for us it was not bleed correctly from factory. Which sadly is a common problem. Some people are lucky and it’s just faulty cap. I have had few people reach out as well that had a faulty sensor.
