What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my Sprinter 3500 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your Sprinter 3500’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Sprinter 3500 check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Sprinter 3500 drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Sprinter 3500 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward.
