When Does My 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD is essential for long-term engine health. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced 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.

What happens during a radiator repair service? 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 3500XD.

This vital part keeps coolant moving through the engine, hoses, and radiator. If it isn’t functioning properly, your engine won’t be able to stay within its optimal temperature range.

Questions About Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Radiators

With regular maintenance and service as needed, you could extend the life of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator. Get answers to common radiator questions, and head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care as soon as you suspect a radiator issue.

  • Why is the coolant light on my Mercedes-Benz dashboard on? Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • Can an antifreeze leak wait? Notice a leaking fluid that's green, bright orange, or pink and feels sticky? It might be antifreeze. Antifreeze is toxic but has a sweet smell and taste that's attractive to many cats and dogs. Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!
  • Do Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiators need to be cleaned? To keep your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • What is causing my Sprinter 3500XD to overheat? Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • My Sprinter 3500XD radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? There could be air pockets in your Sprinter 3500XD’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 3500XD radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Rust in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure. Left unchecked, rust can damage the radiator's cooling passages causing small holes or cracks in the radiator. Maintain your radiator system to help prevent rust.
