I've noticed a very strange crackle/clicking sound coming from my 210 e class these past few days. It seems to come from under the bonnet, immediately in front of the driver, quite close to where the fuses are. The noise is there (intermittently) all the time, engine running or not, although...

It's not problematic (yet) and the best way I can describe it would be as follows: If you were to take a hollow metal cylindrical object, such as a saucepan with no handle, then lightly run a knife around it (like if you were to run a finger around the rim of a wine glass) then that's the noise...

Hi folks, As some of you may know I had my alternator replaced recently. However, a strange oil leak has started, I say it's strange as its leaking onto the alternator. I took most of the pipe work off including the airbox and big pipe which connects to turbo and has the pipe from oil...
