Questions About 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK500 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my CLK500 turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLK500 making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz CLK500 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Mercedes-Benz CLK500 engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz CLK500 radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What could cause my CLK500 engine to suddenly stop? If your CLK500 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
