Why does the check engine light in my 190E turn on when I start my car?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your 190E firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz 190E making engine noise?

Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

Can I put water in my Mercedes-Benz 190E radiator?
