Is It Time for Service on My 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Cooling System?

It can be tough to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. 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. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Questions About Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Radiators

Wondering how to make your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator last as long as possible? Read on for answers to common questions, and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care when your engine shows any signs of a faulty radiator.

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Mercedes-Benz? Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Can an antifreeze leak wait? 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? It could be a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • What is causing my Sprinter 3500 to overheat? Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine to overheat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Sprinter 3500 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Sprinter 3500. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
  • There’s rust in my Sprinter 3500 radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Having rust in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
