Can Mercedes-Benz service save me 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?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz 350SD? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz 350SD 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.

Why is my 350SD malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 350SD’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my 350SD malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 350SD?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 350SD. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 350SD.

Does my 350SD transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 350SD’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 350SD forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SD

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 350SD's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front. It’s one of your 350SD’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SD to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mercedes-Benz 350SD Drivetrain Repairs

Your Mercedes-Benz could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life."
