1994 Mercedes-Benz E420 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your E420's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your E420’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1994 Mercedes-Benz E420 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz E420 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1994 Mercedes-Benz E420 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Mercedes-Benz E420 may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. 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 E420 doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1994 Mercedes-Benz E420? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.

1994 Mercedes-Benz E420 Drivetrain Questions

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • How does Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz E420, 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 E420 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 causes a E420’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your E420 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can you reset your E420’s malfunction warning light at home? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your E420, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your E420 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my E420 serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your E420. 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 E420.
  • Does my E420 transmission belong to the drivetrain system? Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your E420. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
