Why does the check engine light in my G55 AMG turn on when I start my car?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your G55 AMG 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?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. 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 G55 AMG engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your G55 AMG radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

Why did my G55 AMG engine suddenly stop?

If your G55 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.
