ticking

I've noticed recently that there seems to be a few members, new and old, that are starting to get trouble with their SBC pump mostly on W211's (also on the R230, W219 & Maybachs iirc) Up to a certain time ago, it seemed as though Mercedes were willing to realise the inherent problem of...

Hi all, My 2001 C320 petrol has developed a loud tapping/ticking noise that from inside the car sounds like a tappet but on closer inspection it turns out the noise is coming from an electrical component sited on the front right hand side inner wing which according to my Haynes manual (American...

Folks My 300te Auto 4matic makes a distinct ticking but only when MOVING and in REVERSE. It increases with road speed but only when you have reverse engaged. If you roll back in Neutral..No noise. Any forward gears..No noise. I have a sneaky feeling that the parking pawl has dropped? As it...
