1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my 300E? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your 300E firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 300E making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz 300E engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal 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.
  • What could damage my Mercedes-Benz 300E engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz 300E radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my 300E to suddenly stop? Your 300E car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
