Questions About 2009 Mercedes-Benz G550 Engines

  • Why does my G550’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your G550 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Mercedes-Benz G550 engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz G550. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Mercedes-Benz G550 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz G550 radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your G550 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • Why did my G550 engine suddenly stop? If your G550 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
