Just wondering if anyone has come across this or heard about it. I have a 200CDI B class Auto done about 25k miles. Since we got the car every now and then you get metal rattling noise coming from the engine / gearbox. Initially we thought it was something in the steering rack however as we...

Hi all, I'm a new member and new to Mercedes-Benz ownership, having been a Volvo man for most of my life but never again after a v70! The Merc is fantastic. The interior like new, mechanicals well looked after and the bodyshell like lacework. I have never owned such a rusty car! Before I get...

Hello Last night whilst at Tesco my alarm started making strange noises. Not the full alarm sound, just parts of it. It started after I unlocked the car, but would not stop even when I locked the car, then unlocked it, and even with the key in the ignition. Stopped in the end randomly...

Hi, I have recently bought myself a nice E55 S211 Estate, which I have had since May. It is a lovely car and goes great but I am a little concerned with the tapping and clattering from the engine. The car is a 2004 54 plate which only had 39K miles when I got it and now on about 42.5K. It has...

Hi My C230 K is making some horrid noises when I go over ramps... I wish to overhaul the suspension and want to know what I need to replace in order for the noises to go away...Im thinking the shocks and springs, should that remedy the problem, no parts have been changed on the car since...

having had a few turbo diesels, I know it's normal to hear the turbo under some conditions, but I'm wondering if mine is behaving itself. Under some conditions, minor changes in throttle result in the turbo being heard to spin up and down quite loudly from inside the car. It's much more...

Wonder if any of you sage folk have some advice please? Had 'cats replaced a couple of months ago which cured my death rattle from under the car. Immediately after leaving the garage though I noticed a high pitched fluttering noise that sounds like a demented budgerigar. Took it back and...

We've just returned from a week in Helmsley exploring the North Yorks Moors. Over the bumpy lanes I could feel and hear occasional dull and heavy sounding clunks/thumps from towards the rear. I suppose it might be some or all of the suspension bushes requiring replacement - they are all...

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...
