When to Service Your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Mercedes-Benz recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Radiator Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

What does radiator repair include? When you come to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we’ll begin your radiator repair with an in-depth inspection of the cooling system in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks.

Issues with your radiator often coincide with a malfunctioning water pump. Some services for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine can wait, but the water pump is one part that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified. The role of the water pump is to keep coolant circulating in your engine, radiator, and hoses. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat. Our trained technicians can inspect your car’s radiator hoses and pumps to help make sure everything is in working order. From the heater core to the radiator cap, your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We stand behind our work with our Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.

Take care of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator and it will last. Check out our top questions and answers about Mercedes-Benz radiators below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of an overheating engine.

  • What does the coolant light on my Mercedes-Benz dashboard mean? If the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.
  • Is an antifreeze leak dangerous? It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.
  • Do Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiators need to be cleaned? To keep your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • What can cause my Sprinter 3500 to overheat? Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Sprinter 3500 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? There could be air pockets in your Sprinter 3500’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
  • There’s rust in my Sprinter 3500 radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Rust in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure.
