Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save 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 signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz CL600, 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 CL600 differential service?

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

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a CL600?

A multitude of problems can activate your CL600’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your CL600’s malfunction warning light at home?

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 CL600'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 CL600.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my CL600 serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your CL600. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your CL600.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my CL600?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your CL600 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your CL600 forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL600

Your CL600 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front.

Care for your 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL600 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
