Can Mercedes-Benz service save me 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.

How do I know if my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz CLK350, 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 CLK350 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.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a CLK350?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your CLK350 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the CLK350 check engine light on your own?

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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my CLK350?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your CLK350. 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 CLK350.

Is my CLK350’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your CLK350 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350

Your CLK350 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your CLK350 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350, 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.

We can take care of most 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mercedes-Benz CLK350 may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercedes-Benz CLK350 doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 drivetrain? Again, it depends!
