Engine Q&A 2004 Mercedes-Benz ML500

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my ML500? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your ML500 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz ML500 making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz ML500 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low 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 a Mercedes-Benz engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Mercedes-Benz ML500 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I put water in my Mercedes-Benz ML500 radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your ML500 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.
  • What could cause my ML500 engine to suddenly stop? Reasons your ML500 car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
