When to Service Your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for. 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 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Radiator Q&A

Wondering how to make your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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 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? 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!
  • Can Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD radiators 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.
  • My Sprinter 3500XD overheated! What can cause that? One of the main reasons your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • My Sprinter 3500XD radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? Air pockets in your Sprinter 3500XD’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
  • Is rust in my Sprinter 3500XD radiator bad? Yes. Having rust in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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.
