rattle

Bought a 61 C63 estate in February just out of warranty. I noted a rattle in the boot area when I bought the car. It was bought from a non-MB dealer and had a full service by MB before purchase. The rattle sounds like the doors on a wardrobe rattling. It's mainly heard at low speed over rough...

So a rattle developed shortly after replacing the glow plugs on a W169. Worried that something was amiss, I took my car down to Steve Garlic to have a look at. Once up on the ramp with the tray down it became obvious that the rattle was coming from the air con compressor...

My W205 is only a few weeks old and only covered 100miles. But while playing in the garage the other night I found a funny rattle from the engine. However its only there when the engine isn't running. So from cold if put the ignition in position 2 and leave it there the rattle will start...

I can hear a rattle coming from the rear end of my C63 when going over sharp bumps such as slightly raised man hole covers or sunken road repairs. Has anyone else experienced this from a car that isn't 3 years old yet? I have heard a similar sound from an old Lexus IS I had but that was on 160k...

My 55 plate 109 CDI has had a rattle since I bought it 6 months ago there was 83k on the clock when I bought it with service history to back that. I've serviced it and had 3000 trouble free miles from it, it doesn't smoke or drink oil, fuel consumption is good and it starts fine and pulls well...

Hi all, I mentioned this in passing in my other thread about lights, trims etc. Basically, my new C-Class arrived just before Christmas and it's lovely but for a few niggles. One of them? The front right speaker in the driver door (the lovely metal finish one) rattles. It only does so on...

My c63 is 8 months old . Been to the dealer with a rattle in the dash . After having it for 2 weeks they told me I was so un lucky because the heater box had not been screwed it properly behind the dash , which by the way they took most of it out to fix this problem . Well 3 weeks has passed and...

Hi I have a loud rattle from offside rear when going over rough ground. It is best described as a couple of nuts being shaken in a tin can. I have had the car checked and nothing appears to be worn. Even had a MOT tester look over it today and he gave the car a clean bill of health. Does anyone...

Hi all, My car has developed an annoying rattle which seems to be emanating from the ashtray/storage compartment. Leaving the lid open solves the problem, or pushing the lid down slightly on the left side. Any ideas on how to go about trying to fix it, it's driving me mad :wallbash: The level...

Hello everyone, This is my first post, first time merc owner after many audis and VWs. I bought this old C-class coupe last week and only just noticed that it came with a really annoying/worrying rattle coming from the gearbox area/centre console. Best way to describe it would be to...

Seems to coincidental to me but since having the windscreen replaced have developed a dash rattle ... annoying not always present. Generally poor surface around 30-40mph is worst. Screen company have tested and claim cannot find and highly unlikely to be their work. Must be coincidence...

Have just had a new timing chain kit fitted and after 5 days the tensioner failed. I had a new tensioner fitted and 5 days after the rattle returned, but only on start up, any ideas.

I have a 2006 w203 c220cdi 6 speed manual which I purchased about 3 months ago from a local independent dealership. Last night whilst my girlfriend was driving I noticed a strange noise which I hadn't heard before. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator and the revs begin...

Hi guys. I'm in need of some desperate help. My car is a 1983 W123 200 4 speed (M102.920). I have recently replaced the single row timing chain and tensioner due to a rattling or tapping noise caused by the chain hitting the timing chain cover somewhere, although the problem still persists...

Hi guys Just quick one really, I've noticed that sometimes on cold startup, for a split second I get a tinny rattle when my c63 first cranks? Sounds like the prop/flywheel? Doesn't do it every time? Just me? The car has done 10,000 and is a 2013 model Thanks

Good morning all! so the S55 went in for its MOT today and passed (hurray!) however as i drove out the test centre and drove it home i could hear a rattling sound as if something is loose, coming from the front passenger side me thinks. It sounds like an interal rattle either from the dash or...
