Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Your Mercedes-Benz S350 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz S350 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 causes a S350’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your S350’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your S350’s malfunction warning light 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 S350'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 S350.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my S350 serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your S350 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 S350 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S350’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S350 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
