rattling

I occasionally drive a 2011 Viano (Trend 2.2) for work, and whenever I take it to 70mph (and a little bit above), a horrendous rattling sound comes from the front of the roof (where the sunroof would be, if equipped). It sounds almost like a slapping sound of the aerial in the wind... except...

Hi, iv Been coming to this forum for a long time now, got a lot of help and DIY tips so thank you very much. Just created an account today to see if you could help me. My c220 w203 2002 automatic stopped the other day, first time this happen to me. The fuel was quiet low and me being new to...

Hi Guys This morning I started my car and seconds later I could smell burning rubber and see smoke from my engine.! When I stopped and looked in the engine, it was coming from where the belt was slipping on one of the pulleys near the left side of my engine lookind down. There is a rattly...

Hi guys I noticed a strange metallic rattling sound from the underside toward the middle/front of the car when driving on a cobbled road. Any ideas what may cause this? Thanks

Folks, a little advice please. Te tailgate on my c32 estate has always been a little rattly. I pulled the trim from the lip and moved the lock ("loop"/ Hasp/ striker) in about 3mm. It made a difference and I left it at that. However a couple of people in the car grumbling inspired me to take...

Hi everyone. New to the forum and on Friday got myself an 05 c180k se coupe and loving it so far. Before hand had a 95 e36 323i which was old and past its sell by date. So impressed with the merc so far and was a deal I couldn't refuse. Anyhow drove to work Monday and as I approached work could...

When going over uneven or slightly less then perfect roads the centre passenger console in the back of the CLS rattles. The problem is fixed when I apply WD40 however it is a temporary fix any permanent solutions? Thanks guys

My C200 is off the road for the winter whilst I get the bodywork upto scratch and the suspension sorted. I fitted a new belt tensioner and damper recently but it still hasn't cured the problem it is the correct belt too... the damper seems to rapidly move around, when the engine is idling...

hi, new member so please excuse me if i am in the wrong place, my old 98 c180 elegence developed a rattle straight after i stalled her, the noise is like a stone in a tin can!! it goes as i press the clutch peddle, so i thought thrust bearing, so bought 1 and took box off (not much room under...

Hello Everyone I'm new to the forum just having bought a 2002 CL500 with 74k on the clock - see my brief on the new members introduction page. I got the car for a good price (I think) as it has a funny noise. Most sensible people would walk away of course, but my dysfunctional brain took a risk...

Basically the rear plastic trim which surrounds the rear windshield keeps banging against the glass when Im driving and its driving me crazy any fixes? Thanks

Hi All, I hear this rattling sound and it looks like its from the polybelt area. Is the tensioner going or is there something else i need to worry about? It is more pronounced at idle and I don't seem to hear it when reving up the engine. noisey polybelt area - a set on Flickr Thanks...

i have a 1997 c180 auto, when you put it into drive but are still stationary it makes a very loud rattling noise it gets worse in reverse, when you start to drive the noise fades away...any ideas??thanks

E300TD 1999, 120K miles. I have a rattle that seems to be coming from the catalytic converter. It is only there at idle and goes away as soon as the throttle is opened. Is this common? I am more than happy to change it as I see on Cats2U.co.uk it is only £94 +Vat which was a surprise. Any...

Hi I have a rattling CAT on the nearside, it is the CAT beside the manifold. Question is: Can i just remove the centre from the CAT and expect it to pass the emissions test come MOT time?? It is a 1999 SL500 if that makes a difference. New downpipe and CAT is close to £800...

Hi all, My E320 has gradually been developing what I can best describe as a loud rattling noise from the front of the engine, sort of as if it was a diesel. It is proportionate to engine speed and is worse when cold. It seems to have been slowly getting worse since I bought the car 2000 miles...

Any ideas for the above problem guys? I've tried taking the headrest out but I can't as it's stuck in.

I bought a RHD W211 320CDI [straight 6] with 40K on it. Now at 47K it has developed a bit of a rattle over minor bumps in the road and at speeds under 40pmh. On the motorway it is fine - although maybe I don't hear it. The sound appears to be front left. There is no vibration in the steering and...

Hello, here is my first post. I have a ML350 Sport, 06 plate, 20500 miles. Last week my neighbour gave the front passenger door a slam and the following morning it had developed an annoying rattle. It seems to be coming from behind the silver (fake aluminium) plastic insert at the top of the...

There is a metallic vibration from the roof - like twanging a tensioned spring - when ever the car passes over rumble strips on the road. It has done this since I bought it, however there seem to be more rumble strips and ribbed road surfaces these days. What would the fault be do you think? The...
