Common problems and easy repairs on a 2010 R350

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz R350 4Matic is a moderately difficult vehicle to maintain when compared to other similar models. You will have to remove a panel under the vehicle for access to the petcock for a coolant drain. This will require you to contend with gravity as you complete. Changing the engine air filter can be tough, as you will need to use many tools to complete many steps for access. You will have to peel back the wheel well lining for access to the fog light. This lining can grow tight to the vehicle and be difficult to peel back.

Some things are easier on the 2010 Mercedes-Benz R350 4Matic. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. The brake fluid reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis. Changing the headlight bulb with reliability is no problem, as you only have to reach behind the housing for access to the assembly.
