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?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz C350, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz C350 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my C350?

A multitude of problems can activate your C350’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the C350 check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your C350’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my C350?

If your C350 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my C350 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your C350’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your C350 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
