Questions About 2001 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my E55 AMG turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your E55 AMG testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG engine noises bad? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 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 could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I use water in my Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 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 E55 AMG engine to suddenly stop? If your E55 AMG car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
