How does Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help save 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 signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz G500? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercedes-Benz G500 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my G500?

If your G500 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your G500’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 G500’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 serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my G500?

A drivetrain malfunction in your G500 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my G500 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your G500’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your G500 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
