noisy

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I have a noisy windscreen wiper, lots of rain its quiet, when dry its quiet but when fine rain it chatters across the screen. They are only 4 ot 5 months old and have been doing this from about a month old. They are genuine MB replacement...

Wonder if anyone can shed some light. On start up from cold my 93 E320 estate has a funny sound, much like the exhaust manifold has a hole in it (it seems the same as a compressor sucking air), then after 2 minutes or so it disappears, only appears again when the car is started from cold. Am I...

W123 '84 230 CE. The engine is very clattery when started from cold for a few seconds but as soon as the oil pressure comes up on the guage, the noise disappears. I have been told this is probably the timing chain and it seems to be coming from the front of the engine. Oil pressure when idling...

hi all, i'm new to mercedes ownership, i've just got rid of my bmw 328 convertible, for a 2000 'w' clk 230 kompressor in blue. it's a beautiful drive and looks so much nicer than the bmw. the question i have is, should it sound as though the exhaust is blowing? i've had it to 2 seperate garages...

HI, I have a 02 C220cdi. The engine on startup makes a knocking almost clacking noise. if i increase revs to around 2500 rpm, the noise disappears and it sounds smooth as silk, even back at idle. Once the engine heats up the noise returns again (sometimes) at idle but disappears once driving...

Hi folks, 1. ive been having a few problem with the e300 diesel (non turbo) for the past few months. basically im getting a really annoying machine gun/woodpecker tapping coming from the engine no matter if the car is hot/cold or low/high rpm. it sounds like an old pushrod engine with...

:)dear all first post, any ideas to repair a noisy rear diff thanks dh.

Hi, I have just had a major service and pointed out that the fan motor for the main radiator fan seemed to be making a noise. It was diagnosed as likely to be the motor bearing which cannot be repaired according to the MB dealer. This would need to be replaced at a cost of £700 incl labour at...

In the last few days I've thought that the car (W220 S500 2002) had been sounding a bit off i.e. a faint ticking sound. I took off the plastic engine cover to locate the noise and I'm 99% sure its from the engine itself. I checked the oil and it seems to have used a small amount but nothing...

My wife's w168 has suddenly developped a noisy wiper arm. It "squeels" when moving. I was planning on putting some WD40 on the spring and base mechanism. Anybody can see a reason why not?

My W211 E320 CDI (2005 model) has a very noisy hydraulic brake booster. It 'growls' intermitently, especially after the 'brake hold' has been applied. My franchised dealer tells me that this normal for this model but I'm not sure that I entirely believe him. Does anyone have any comments?

Hello all recently my s class has been making a strange noise, when i accelerate quite heavily there is a screeching noise from the car, seems to come from the transmission i think, quite hard to pinpoint though, i bought a dipstick off e-bay for the transmission to check the level but it gets...

The fuel pump is very noisy on my 1991 300sl, i have replaced the fuel filter hoping that may have been causing the pump to strain but this has not solved the problem. I listened as close as i could to the pump and am guessing it was the lower pump that was the noisy one, is there a way of...

As per title. In a bit of a quandry. I've got a late 85 123 230e with lots of miles - 338k, to be precise. Lifters are noisy and not sure if it's economical to have the head off to get them sorted...... Any other way (oil flush - using different grade of oil) to lessen the tapping...

Just booked my eight-week and 3,000 mile old W204 in to the dealer's to be looked at :( Noticed last week what sounded like one or two noisy lifters after startup as I drove up the carpark at work on my way home. Since then I've been paying attention to it at each start and it only does it...

Hello, the fuel pump on my 1991 300sl is very noisy, is it easy to change? is it expensive? do i need to if its just noisy? ie will it stop working.... it is really noisy, you can hear it all the time... Jay

Hi all, My E280 is making a lot of squealing noises when I use the brakes. My car has now done 15,000 miles and is on a 56 plate. Any idea how many miles brakes should normally last before replacement ? If they don't need replacement then can I spray something through the alloys to...

Hi, just put car into my local indy for a noise from turbo area. he has now confirmed the forward alternator bearing is worn and rattling. This one is water cooled and consequently very £££! (£800 ish). Tried GSF, no good. A local bearing company said they could replace bearing in same day...

After prolonged(50miles+) towing of 1250kg caravan the fan starts although the engine temp gauge reads normal. Also there is a more disturbing noise that appears to come from the gearbox and sounds like an hyd relief valve blowing. The gearbox continues to operate perfectly normally. Hardly...

My E220 engine is very noisy - it sounds like a diesel when idling, in the front of the engine is a small damper which was very loose so I took it off, will this effect the vibrations?
