Why does the check engine light come on when I start my ML320?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your ML320 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Mercedes-Benz engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz ML320. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate 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 ML320 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I put water in my Mercedes-Benz ML320 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 ML320 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my ML320 to suddenly stop?

If your ML320 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
