Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

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

Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz ML350? 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 will I need Mercedes-Benz ML350 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a ML350?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your ML350’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my ML350 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your ML350's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your ML350.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my ML350?

A drivetrain malfunction in your ML350 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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my ML350?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your ML350’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your ML350 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your ML350's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your ML350’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML350, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz ML350 Drivetrain Repairs
