Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz CL550? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often 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?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your CL550’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my CL550 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my CL550?

A drivetrain malfunction in your CL550 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my CL550?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your CL550’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your CL550 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
