What happens if my Mercedes-Benz C280 spark plugs fail?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Mercedes-Benz’s recommendations.

What should I do if I see leaks under my C280?

Are some driving habits better for my Mercedes-Benz C280 engine than others?

Mercedes-Benz C280 Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Mercedes-Benz C280 engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

The second service focuses on your C280's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your C280's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate.
