Why does the check engine light in my SLK350 turn on when I start my car?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your SLK350 firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Are Mercedes-Benz SLK350 engine noises bad?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercedes-Benz SLK350. 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 might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I use water in my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your SLK350 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 the engine in my SLK350 to suddenly stop?

Your SLK350 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
