2012 Mercedes-Benz S600 Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my S600 turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your S600 testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Mercedes-Benz S600 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my Mercedes-Benz S600 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 slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I use water in 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 can cause the engine in my S600 to suddenly stop? There are different reasons your S600 vehicle engine could suddenly stop. You may be looking at a lack of fuel, faulty sensors, issues with the ignition system, engine overheating, electrical problems, or mechanical troubles.
