Folks A question since I don't really know the M104 320 engine: There's a ticking from the top end. It rises and falls in frequency with the engine revs. Present both hot and cold. Follows the engine revs to about 2000rpm at which point it seems to disappear. Any ideas? Do these have...

Ive noticed a tapping noise coming from the engine, sounds a lot like a hydrolic tappet going. It sounds louder when im close to another car or wall. I did a little investigation with a stethescope and was sure the tapping was coming from number 1 injector. I replaced the injector today fitted a...

I have an 2009 w204 c200k. I am getting a tapping knocking noise during idle or when i come to a stop at traffic lights. The noise can only be heard inside of the vehicle, and mercedes said it was EGR and have replaced it and the noise is still there. The noise doesnt seem to be coomig from...

I thgought I might need to have my tappests looked at due to a very noisy top end clatter. Sounded really bad. But, before spending loads of cash, I thought I would whip off the cam cover, take off the oil spray bar and give it a good flush through with carb cleaner. Guess what? I piece of...

Hi Everyone, I've got a C220 CDi (estate). It's a great car and I'm really happy with it, but it seems to have developed a tapping noise inside the (diesel) engine recently. It's most obvious when the car is revved from a standstill, and seems to go away at higher speeds. Can anyone give me...

For the last week or so I have noticed that my w202 was getting some slight tapping noise but annoyingly enough never when I went to the garage. I have also noticed that the breather hose has "bled" oil which had never done before. I do feel that the car had lost some power but nothing dramatic...

Hi all, me again! When cold my 1991 500E has what sounds like a sticking tappet. Now i've heard people talk of the oil feed rails to the tappets on the M119 engine, some being metal and some being plastic, is it that these slowly become clogged and this rears its head when cold or has mine...

Hi everyone, Recently in this thread I was looking for a wireless keyboard with a built in mouse/touchpad. After some thought I went for the Keysonic AC-540RF link as it seemed to fit the bill for features and had a touchpad which was my main concern - the sony looked nice but it was out...

My engine has developed a wierd tapping noise, I'll explain further - When cold, it sounds fine, drive until the car gets to 80 degrees, sit in traffic, at idle there is a tapping noise like a tappet or something. Drive away tapping noise disappears until at idle again when it resumes...

Just heard something a bit worrying. Loud'ish tapping noise right after starting from cold. It disappeared when I accelerated. When hot, the engine ran smoothly as always. The car has done 120K miles. Cam chain/tensioner?

Hi Folks, My W203 C320 is making the strangest snapping noise on start-up. The noise appears to be from the central airvents just the command unit. The noise can only be described as snapping or tapping, but it is very loud, like someone bending a plastic ruler and letting it slap against a...

hi i plan to fit my facelift blinking wing mirrors quite soon (had them for ages just havnt been bothered to attempt the mod!) i was told that the best place to tap into the existing wiring for the indicators was the wires that run thru the driver and passenger door sills. Anyone know...

My 1999 65k CLK 320 has developed a tapping noise from the top of the engine when starting from cold. This noise stays until the engine starts to warm up, then disapears - only to return when the engine is cold or the car has been stood for up to about 3 hours. This weekend I changed the...
