What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Mercedes-Benz?

If the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

Don’t ignore puddles on your driveway or garage floor. If you see a green, bright orange, or pink fluid puddling under your car (it might be sticky, too), it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out of the engine. Antifreeze has a sweet, attractive smell to cats and dogs (and it’s highly toxic to them), so look out for your pets! Repair any leaks as soon as possible, then carefully wash away any remaining fluid that’s left behind on the driveway or garage floor.

Do Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG radiators need to be cleaned?

Cleaning your car shouldn’t be limited to the parts you can see. Regular cleaning is good for your radiator, too! When you take your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG in for routine maintenance or service, it could be a good idea to opt for a radiator cleaning, too.

What can cause my SL55 AMG to overheat?

If your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.

My SL55 AMG radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?

Air pockets in your SL55 AMG’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.

There’s rust in my SL55 AMG radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Having rust in your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

When Does My 2024 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2024 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

What to Expect from Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Radiator Repair

What happens during a radiator repair service? When you come to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we’ll begin your radiator repair with an in-depth inspection of the cooling system in your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG.
