M156 2010 - is it the dreaded headbolt issue?

[cramorra]

I had little trouble with my c 63 over the last 5 years nothing apart from servicing really hence I let the warranty expire this year

Since then command screen doesn't close
Battery probably dying...
Now first time since I own car coolant low- and yes my car is pre facelift....
Am I paranoid or should I get the compression checked?...

Top it up and start worrying if happens again in a short space of time...

If you have a friendly MoT tester, get him to use his exhaust analyser to "sniff" in the neck of the coolant reservoir with the cap off and the engine running. Any hint of hydrocarbons (the display reads in parts-per-million) and you have a problem.
