Why does the check engine light in my Sprinter 3500 turn on when I start my car?

Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. 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 a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided.

Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator?
