How do I know if my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz GL350? 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 GL350 differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a GL350?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your GL350’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the GL350 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your GL350’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 GL350?

A drivetrain malfunction in your GL350 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 GL350 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?
