Questions About 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my SLK300? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz SLK300. 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 SLK300 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. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my SLK300 to suddenly stop? If your SLK300 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
