Why does the check engine light in my CLK55 AMG turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your CLK55 AMG firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold.

Can I put water in my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG radiator?

However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
