Why does the check engine light in my SL600 turn on when I start my car?

Why does my Mercedes-Benz engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz SL600. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Mercedes-Benz SL600 engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car 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 SL600 radiator?

However, if you need to continue driving your SL600 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my SL600 to suddenly stop?

There are different reasons your SL600 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.
