Hi,
Bought a 06 320cdi clk few months back having read what super smooth engines they were. Well it's certainly very smooth indeed but I'm dissapointed with the Diesel hammering type noise that is evident during acceleration up to about 2K revs max. Both non merc diesels I've owned before...
Being quite disappointed with my MB 2008 38K on the clock and does not respond to my keys. Can turn but nothing happens - steering lock still locked.
STAR mobilo diagnosed "Steering lock mechanical fault" and removed the car by special truck taken to MB local dealer.
No news from them to date...
After much head scratching and various opinions, i suspect that my oil pump may soon need replaced (nicely links into other posts about engine rattle at idle).
I would imagine that as everything else this is not an easy job.
Has anybody undertaken this task on a '98 C43? Is it an engine out job...
