  •  Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system? Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz CL550, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz CL550 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 the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my CL550? If your CL550 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Can you clear the CL550 check engine light on your 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 CL550'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 CL550.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my CL550 serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your CL550.

Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your CL550.
  • Is my CL550’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your CL550. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
