Why does my 500E’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your 500E firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz 500E making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz 500E. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate 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 500E engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz 500E radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your 500E radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

What can cause the engine in my 500E to suddenly stop?

If your 500E car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
