Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz E450, 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 E450 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 E450’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your E450’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your E450’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your E450’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my E450?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your E450. 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 E450.

Is my E450’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your E450 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your E450 forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450

Your E450 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 E450 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 to maintain its performance power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz E450 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mercedes-Benz E450 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercedes-Benz E450 doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
