Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?

  • It signals that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics have detected an issue — anything from a loose fuel cap to an emissions or engine performance fault.
  • At Park Place Motorcars Arlington we use factory-level scanners to identify the exact trouble codes and recommend OEM repairs that protect long-term value and efficiency.
  • Choosing our service often costs less than many independent shops when you factor in accurate diagnosis, genuine parts, and avoided repeat repairs — saving you money now and later.
  • If a repair is covered by warranty, it must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage; we also offer service financing to get repairs done now and pay later.

How long does a check engine light service take?

  • Typical diagnostics take 30–60 minutes depending on code complexity; some repairs require additional time for parts or deeper inspection.
  • Park Place Motorcars Arlington prioritizes quick turnarounds with certified Mercedes-Benz technicians and streamlined bays to reduce downtime.
  • We provide transparent estimates and will recommend the fastest, most cost-effective solution; you can schedule service online to reserve a convenient time.

How much does a check engine light diagnostic cost for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?

  • Diagnostic fees vary by condition, but our dealership offers competitive, value-driven pricing that often costs less than independent shops once repair accuracy and OEM parts are considered.
  • Accurate diagnosis prevents unnecessary replacements — an immediate saving that protects your Sprinter’s longevity and resale value.
  • Ask about current service specials and service financing options to make repairs more affordable.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?

  • Common triggers include emissions sensors (oxygen or NOx), turbocharger-related issues, or fuel system irregularities — especially on diesel-powered Sprinters.
  • Ignoring these can lead to reduced fuel economy, higher emissions, and costly turbo or aftertreatment damage down the road.
  • Our certified technicians at Park Place Motorcars Arlington diagnose these quickly and advise on the most durable OEM repairs to minimize lifetime costs.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

  • Start with basic checks: ensure the fuel cap is secure and look for obvious leaks or performance changes while avoiding prolonged aggressive driving.
  • Next, bring the vehicle to us for a professional scan so codes can be read and interpreted correctly — self-clearing the light without addressing root causes risks more expensive repairs.
  • To get started, schedule service or review our current service specials before your visit.

Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter usually signals a severe condition that can cause immediate engine damage — for diesel Sprinters this can indicate serious misfires, turbocharger faults, or issues with the aftertreatment system. When the light flashes, stop driving as soon as it is safe and have the vehicle evaluated by certified technicians. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington our factory-trained team uses Mercedes-Benz diagnostic tools to capture live data and determine whether the Sprinter needs a temporary tow, a controlled repair, or immediate parts replacement. We emphasize transparent estimates and explain the trade-offs between temporary fixes and long-term OEM repairs so you keep value and reliability. Take advantage of our service specials, ask about service financing, and schedule service online to ensure fast, protected repairs with genuine parts and warranty-covered work.

Our technicians document codes, explain repair options, and use Mercedes-Benz-approved parts and software updates, preserving warranty coverage and long-term vehicle health.
