lifters

Has anyone made a successful Mercedes goodwill claim on hydraulic lifters? My car has been diagnosed by Mercedes needing the lifters replaced. Car is 58 plate on 72k. I've rang local specialist and two have suggested Mercedes should help with the issue. The original Mercedes dealer said they'd...

Hi all - I've just bought myself a 2002 E500. First of the W211s. 100,000 miles on the nose. Lots of history and appears to have been well cared for. On acceleration it sounds faintly clattery - think of a low pitched tappet type noise. It doesn't go away when warmed up but is not audible on...

I have a S500 with 74,000 miles which has just starting a ticking noise from cam shaft area on one side. MB have quoted me 20 hrs work plus parts which equates to about £2000.00 + Parts!!! MB say the heads need to come off and the cams and followers replaced. I am sure I have heard somewhere...
