Why does my S600’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your S600 testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Are Mercedes-Benz S600 engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz S600 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by 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 S600 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz S600 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 S600 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my S600 engine to suddenly stop?

Your S600 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
