What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz S600, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz S600 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 S600’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your S600’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your S600’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your S600’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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my S600?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your S600, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs.

Does my S600 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S600’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S600 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
