noises

Another problem to add aswell as the newly discovered brake sensor issues I have is this: turbo makes a howling sound at revs up to 2000rpm both on and off the pedal (sounds like a police car). Ok so its spooling, never heard it before but most noticeable in mornings. Also I here a...

Dear Members, I have serviced my Smart car regularly but it is making an noise I cannot figure out what to do with it. It is coming from the back of the car and it sounds like a buzzing type of noise. A little bit like an insect in your ear to be precise. I had serviced the car in August 2009...

Driving home last night I thought the car sounded a bit rough. Nearing home the noise seemed to get worse. A sort of nasty mechanical resonance at medium to high revs and on the overrun. I havn't had the chance to have a proper poke around the car and I whilst I suppose the noises could be...

2000 X Reg C200K Petrol W203 110,000 miles I have noticed when the engine is at running temperature a rattlely/tappet type of noise from the LH side - supercharger side of engine, I can only hear it outside the car or with the bonnet open.............my local independent garage say they need to...

On my W220 when I put on the heating on in the morning when the car is cold the squealing and squeaking coming from the blower is doing my nut in. It seems to be a bit less of a pain if I put the system on to high but that might just be a case of not hearing it over the noise of the fans. It...

Now that the cold has set in my Air Con has started playing up. There is a strange sound coming from the passenger side of the dash when i increase the speed of the air flow. It is a rumbling sound and to describe it better it sounds like the Fan that blows the air is actually loose or...

Hey there all, On my w221 S320cdi there is a lot of "dashboard noise." The best way I can describe it is that there are a lot of creaking noises which are audible especially when going over a small bump or turning a corner. I can't seem to localise the sound, but it's definately coming from the...

hi Dave Lewis, just wanted to know how you fixed the squealing brakes? in another thread someone said something about adding copper grease which i remember Ian did. the squealing only happens when i brake hard once and then it will continue to squeal everytime i touch the brakes until it cools...

My central locking has been making a sort of whining/whistling sound for a little while now. The sound seems to come from the general area of the fuel door. It never does it on locking, but makes this sound for like 20 seconds on un-locking. Then the other day I un-locked the car and there was...

Hello, I am getting some clunky noises from my trusty old W114 and was hoping other merc fans can extend their own knowledge/experience with this one. The noise is coming from the rear suspenion, when I go over rough roads or train crossings it sounds like someone is pounding the rear floor...

Hi guy's any ideas. (E320 CDI 210 year 2000 estate) We had a towbar wired up by a auto electrician that we found in the yellow pages .An hour after he left we went to the car and turned the ignition on and we herd a click and a blower buzzing sound by the air conditioning unit, on the dashboard...

I have a R Reg C200 automatic, with around 105,000 miles on the clock. It is regularlry serviced. Over the last 2 months I have started hearing a strange humming/whining noise when driving. It seems to be at its worse at around 70 mph. It also seems to be very apparent when slowing down to a...

Hi I have a 1996 c200 Elegance with 78k mileage and recently the car is making these creaking noises when moving from a stand-still. Whenever I engage D or R gears and the brake is on, the car will start pulling to the front or back (depending on the gear choosen) and the creaking noises will...

I have an annoying noise in my car (W202)!!! It sounds like hissing and is coming from the right hand side of the dash around the light switch and the airvent. I have check turnin on/off the vents and lights ect but its still there. And it seems to go when start accelerating. Weird huh Any...

W124 1990 300D When going over a pothole/speedhump etc I can hear a light metallic rattling sound from the rear, as though the exhaust is loose, which it is`nt as I had a look yesterday. When I apply the brakes, sometimes I can hear a clunking noise. Just wondering if the two are...

1) My 1994 C180 has a bit too much mechanical noises coming from the bottom of the car's front and I don't know if its normal or is it some problem with the exhaust system, valves getting stuck open with a lot of exhaust back pressure and noise or just the original design for this car. The whole...

Hi guys, great to have found this forum. Kicking myself I didn't find it whilst I was in UK. Am now in Sydney and have brought my UK 1996 C220 92k miles along with me. So still feel aligned to the UK. No doubt car is aging so have few items to be looked at. First obvious one is a loud high...

Has any members here experience this : Very loud (fan/air whooshing noises) from your engines upon startup ? This happens to me in the mornings starting the car from cold. This never happened when the car was new (where it was virtually silent) but when it happened the 1st time, the dealer told...

Guys Anyone know what this is? The engine sounds ok when ticking over but when you give some revs sounds well not sweet. It has not affected performance, its just irratating. Could it be it needs Super petrol or Optimax? Any ideas? Sorry I so vague! Any comments please Cheers Ian

I have never seen anything like this before, and found it quite amusing <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> See what you think. Link
