Engine Q&A 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL550

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my SL550? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your SL550 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz SL550. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to 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 SL550 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Mercedes-Benz SL550 radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your SL550 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause a SL550 engine to suddenly stop? If your SL550 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
