Questions About 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my SLK300 turn on when I start my car? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 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 a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Mercedes-Benz engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I put water in my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 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 SLK300 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my SLK300 to suddenly stop? There are different reasons your SLK300 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.
