rattle

Hi I am planning to tackle the Tin Worm on my E220. I have primer and rust killer. I even have some 744 silver. I would like to know what type of lacquer to put on top. Would rattle cans do a good job or would I best get some 2k lacquer? Many thanks Steve

Had a very long tedious drive through London rush hour traffic today, during the course of which my CLK developed a new rattle. It is more like a buzz than a rattle, and seems to go all the way along the dashboard whenever the engine idles. It stops once the revs go above 1000. Anyone...

Here's one for the panel. Intermittent rattle from the back of the rear seat, most likely something to do with the retractable load cover. It seems to be somewhere on the n/s, and behind the headrests. Is there anything in that area which is known to cause rattles/work loose? Or is it more...

I had my secondary cat removed and had a bit of stainless straight pipe put in and lately have devloped a rattle , it only happen when pulling away . I have done abit of research and alot of people have said it could be the inner gauze breaking down but when i inspected my secondary cat it stilk...

Hello All My new to me C240 has a little tappet rattle when first starting from cold. Goes after 2 or 3 seconds of running and no noise at all when warm. I've had other cars that did this as the tappets tended to drain and it didn't seem to be a problem. The car had an oil change just before I...

having some issues. w203 '54' the front end seems to have a rattle on the suspension linkage etc... its been to 2 different mechanics and nothing seems on towards or has any play... when the car is lifted and settled back down the rattle seems to go for a short peroid of time but eventually...

I have just bought a W209 clk 240 coupe ,2005. Fabulous, my first MB But the rattle! Somewhere in or near the rear parcel shelf. It's driving me nuts. Sounds like a small metallic part vibrating quickly on metal or plastic. And intermittent. Some days not heard, other days always there...

I have the most annoying rattle in my car... behind me, just over my right shoulder. I have been through every bit of trim, replaced all worn or broken clips, replaced the intermediate pivot bolts on the roof mechanism and tighened up the roof latches. It is only evident at low speed with the...

Hi All Have a rather annoying issue at the moment, when my 320CE is cold the motor sounds great at idle, nice and smooth and quiet. As soon as it gets up to temp however it rattles like a diesel from idle until about 1500rpm. I don't think it is tensioner shock as it would do it...

Hi guys - this week my 2001 E-class Avantgarde (facelift) developed a suspension rasttle (over bumpy surfaces) passenger front LHS....my mechanic looked at it yesterday and has advised i have 'play' in the upper wish bone ball joint which is causing the issue? He advises the assy has to be...

Since getting my 210 there's been a rattle that sounded like something metallic under the bonnet. Jay had a look but as it only happened while on the move at gentle throttle, it wasn't easy to diagnose as being anything different to the usual combustion irregularity that happens sometimes on...

Hi until recently a HAPPY owner of 1995M E250 DIESEL,200,000 miles,FSH.I have a rattle from Belt tensioner/damper/pulley?.Once rattle starts you can see belt wobbling so much so it skipped off PAS pulley(1rib) just as i moved to garage to work on.The rattle will automatically stop, engine...

I've done a quick search on here - i think the diagnosis may be a cat on it's way out, but thought i'd see what the consensus is. When the engine gets warm - i.e. > 80deg, with the windows open, when accelerating then i can hear a tinny rattle - only seems to happen up to about 1800rpm and...

Hi All, As you may know I am selling my W124 coupe, however just the other day the engine started making a rattling noise and I would like to get this fixed before selling so that I know that the car is in full working order before it sells. So I opened the bonnet and the noise seemed to come...

hi guys, got a slight rattle noise coming from under the centre console, just had a new ring gear fitted, do any of you know if theres any covers or heat shelds down there, that might not of been done up when the ring gear change took place ? cheers...

Can anyone shed some light on what could be the probable cause of what seems to be injector rattle / chatter at 2200 rpm and above, below this the engine sounds completely normal. The rattle remains right through the rev range although at anything above 3500 rpm it becomes difficult to pick out...

Just had to drive a round trip of about 160 miles with a load rattling sound emanating from the car, one of the heat shields underneath is loose and producing an unholy din :mad: Unfortunately I was committed to doing the trip today for work and didn't have time to get the car looked at. Just...

I wonder if anyone is able to determine from a video clip what might be wrong with my car. There is a lot of vibration in the engine which leads to the air filter enclosure and the intake hose to resonate. I have made a big improvement to the noise by taping up the join between the hose and...
