What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Mercedes-Benz?

Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

Notice a leaking fluid that's green, bright orange, or pink and feels sticky? It might be antifreeze. Antifreeze is toxic but has a sweet smell and taste that's attractive to many cats and dogs. Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!

When should my Mercedes-Benz CL600 radiator be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz CL600 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

Why is my CL600 overheating?

Your Mercedes-Benz CL600 engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.

Why does the radiator in my CL600 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your CL600. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

There’s rust in my CL600 radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Having rust in your Mercedes-Benz CL600 radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
