Common problems and easy repairs on a 2018 CLA250

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 4Matic is somewhat difficult to maintain. You’ll need to work upside-down while underneath the vehicle to remove a large panel before you can perform an oil change or a coolant flush. Some of the headlights will require a cover removal in the wheel well lining for access to them, which won’t allow for reliable changes. Checking the transmission fluid levels will be a problem as this vehicle lacks a dipstick.

However, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 4Matic has its upsides. The non-LED tail lights are accessible behind a single cover that removes without tools, allowing for reliable bulb changes whenever necessary. Some of the headlights have similarly easy access, so changing those won’t be a problem, either. The brake fluid reservoir has unobstructed access that will allow you to monitor the fluid level without hassle.
