Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

Your Mercedes-Benz 300D drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz 300D differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a 300D’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 300D can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the 300D malfunction warning light on my own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 300D, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your 300D to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my 300D serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your 300D should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my 300D drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 300D’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 300D forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
