When Does My 2019 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.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. 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. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown 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.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Coolant Fluid Exchange

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 3500XD. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too. Some services for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD engine can wait, but the water pump is one part that you can't put off repairing or replacing. This pump ensures that coolant is always flowing through the radiator, hoses, and engine. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat. Our technicians can take a look at your radiator’s components to help make sure everything is in working order. If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.

Questions About Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Radiators

With regular maintenance and service as needed, you could extend the life of your 2019 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.

  • What does the coolant light on my Mercedes-Benz dashboard mean? 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.
  • 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.
  • When should my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • Why is my Sprinter 3500XD overheating? Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD engine to overheat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Sprinter 3500XD sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? 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!).
  • Is rust in my Sprinter 3500XD radiator bad? Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator. Over time, rust can eat away at the radiator's cooling passages, forming tiny holes or cracks that can affect its operation. To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.
