Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Your Mercedes-Benz C350 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Mercedes-Benz C350 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 C350 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Is it possible to reset the C350 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your C350's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your C350.

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.

Is my C350’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Mercedes-Benz C350

Your C350 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz C350, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
