Why does the check engine light in my E250 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 E250 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why does my Mercedes-Benz engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz E250. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Mercedes-Benz E250 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Is it okay to put water in my Mercedes-Benz E250 radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your E250 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my E250 engine to suddenly stop?

Your E250 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
