Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Sprinter 2500?

A multitude of problems can activate your Sprinter 2500’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my Sprinter 2500 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Sprinter 2500's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Sprinter 2500.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Sprinter 2500 serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Sprinter 2500. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Sprinter 2500.

Does my Sprinter 2500 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Sprinter 2500. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
