I Have a B160 Sport cvt and every so often when I start it I get a kind of mechanical grating noise just for a few seconds as it starts. Last week I turned the key in the ignition and it did nothing - turned it back did it again and it started . As it doesn't do it all the time I recorded the...

So Mercedes sorted one rattle ( after 3 months ) but have caused another - as my radio info was re set I guess they have taken the battery out from under the floor and now I have a really annoying rattle coming from where the battery sits - not all the time but it's certainly there - tried...

Problem solved !!!!! Only after I insisted in going into the workshop and having the car raised and standing under it with a mechanic ( after it had stayed over night as it was worse when the engine was cold ) did the mechanic and service advisor go " oh that noise " - anyway the problem was...

Don't really have another dealer really close and they always want it for the day - but maybe I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and travel as its so frustrating .

To clarify the noise is a definite rattle - a bit like a piece of plastic trim resonating but loudly - it does it most first thing in a morning when backing the car out of the garage or starting to pull off- I can replicate it by putting the hand break on whilst the car is in gear and pressing...

Morning rattles are still there unfortunately even though they assured me it would be gone - at a complete loss now - the service team don't seem to have any idea apart from saying - " they all do that" to which I point out - " we'll it didn't for 2 years " ! What more can I do - I recorded the...

Well maybe there was something in my thoughts re the air con - my car went into Mercedes today and there chief technical engineer came out , listened to the car and then I emailed him the noise I recorded so he could listen to it with his technical team... He said the noise was normal and was...

Hi - I was sat listening to my rattling B Class today and thought I would turn the air con off to hear the noise better as it was a warm day and unbelievably the rattle disappeared !!! - I altered the revs to compensate for the fact that it changes when the air con is switched on and off and...

Hope I am not confusing things for everyone - mine is the B Class 160 sport auto - With the rattle !!! And yes I do believe the A and B class as far as I am aware share a lot of components so fingers crossed once your A class is fixed then I will have a way forward with mine - the comments about...

I am taking my car in next Thursday but after reading the thread am not confident but it does sound like the same noise - mine happens between 1000rpm and 1400 rpm and is most noticeable first thing in the morning on start up - but then has started to make it now during the day when at idle or...

How did you get on this evening - I didn't even get the courtesy of a call back from the service team will be ringing them again tomorrow.

Hi - that is exactly the position rev range etc that causes the issue with my b class - it can't be normal as it didn't do it when we first got it - so back to the dealer it will go - I will provide an update when they have had a look .

Well in my car went was told that C meant it was a major service plus brake fluid plus combination air filter - cost just under £350 - fab customer service - they lent me an SLK as well for the day - my younger son couldn't believe it - went out for the day with him roof down .....ah bliss ...

Well took it to the dealer - full service done - they reckoned rattle was coming from engine cover rubber feet ( I told em it wasn't ! Unless the feet reached under the car where the noise is coming from ) but they replaced the feet anyway - drove car home - rattle still there so back to the...

The good news thanks to everyone is yes Mercedes changed the lot inc the locking wheel nut and said if it happens again then no prob bring it in and they will change em again !! Of course me thinks they would be better to just make wheel nuts that don't rust !( my other car is an IS 250 Lexus -...

Forgot to mention it says service c on the screen does that mean more money !! ?

Hi I have a 23 month old B Class 160 sport auto with the lovely AMG alloys.. The only problem is althought the alloys are perfect the chromed nuts are all rusty - thinking of asking Mercedes to replace them under warranty - has anyone else had them rust / corrode and tackled Mercedes over it -...

Sorry -car in next week - decided to wait until the service as dealership location not ideal - still a rattle some days worse than others - got me stumped but will update when it's been in - thanks

Hi I have a B160 sport auto and the servicing indicator says I have 16 days left until service - will this be a service A or service B - ( my car is 2 years old on Sept 1st and has 12k miles on it ) my local North West dealership is saying in a flyer sent to me its £189 minor or £299 major is...

I have a 22 month old B Class 160 sport auto and when I pull away or drive slowly I hear a rattle coming from under the car - I can't see anything loose - the car only has 12k miles on - any ideas out there as we use the car a lot and don't want it to let us down - don't really hear it driving...
