Help/Guidance required - Has anyone ever experienced a faint ticking from behind the dash that eventually goes away after 10 minutes after a cold overnight rest. Its not to do with the engine as it ticks even before the engine is started. And its not to do with the Ventilation Fan as that's...

Hello just joined I hope some can shed some light on my problem- clk 320 52 plate w209 - I seem to be getting a 10 second ticking noise everytime i turn the ignition on. It seems to be coming from around the glovebox/sterio, even if the sterio is off.

Sat sitting in a traffic jam on the devils own highway to hell today made me think. There was I, foot on brake and car in "D" for well over 10 minutes. Silly really. I wasn't thinking. So how long before you would cause gearbox damage doing that? Or wouldn't it ever get to that point?

Any ideas on this would be appreciated since it is very irritating! Basically, at any speed above about 40mph I get a ticking sound that seems to come from somewhere neer the base of the screen, towards the centre. The speed of the tick is fairly constant at about 3 per second and doesn't...

Hi Guys, I am concerned about the second hand car I have purchased. Basically, at slow speeds, when I press the break pedal, I feel a tick vibration every 2 seconds. I have driven other cars with ABS and there is no such ticking. It has just been serviced by Mercedes and they said all is fine...

Could these be related? Was told today that on the maifold the link between the motor and valves has broke and so they are stuck in the open position causing the rattling/ticking noise and the excessive smoke on harsh acceleration. Originally thought it was a leaky injector seal but all are...

Hey people! Got an R170 SLK200 Kompressor. Engine sounds quite rattley, almost diesel like - quite loud ticking etc. Just wondered if other SLK owners had similar sounding engines. Is this a charactaristic of the engine? or is something screwed? Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello again. Just this week I've noticed a clicking noise from the car. Most noticeable at idle but definitely related to engine speed. The sound is emanating from the front of the car. What do you think this could be? The car is not in gear at the time by the way. Any ideas?? Thanks

I have a clicking noise that occurs from my wheels/brakes not sure where its comming from. It happens when I am driving and I turn the steering left or right. Has anybody had a problem like this? 2001 CLK230K

Hello this is my first time using this forum, hope you can help me...... I purchased my J reg. 230 about a year ago, after a NON mercedes mechanic messed around with it (didn't have a clue) he upset the whole thing, anyway got it to run and change gear at the right revs now, but there is an...

When I first start the supercharged 2.3L inline 4 in my 99 C230 Kompressor in the morning, or after it has been sitting for a few hours, there is a noticable sound that is similar to a loud tick or maybe an cracked exhaust manifold's pfft pfft pfft. If you rev the engine while it is in neutral...

Hi, my E320 has an odd problem - if I set *both* temperature dials to maximum cooling, there is sometimes a ticking noise that appears to come from somewhere around the glovebox. At first I thought it was the sound of expansion with two surfaces rubbing or something... but I soon realised that...

I recently had a new cat and exhaust fitted to my w202 c180 auto and it has made the car very quiet. I have noticed at about 3200rpm i get a ticking noise, it's not load related as it will do it at light or heavy throtle loads.. always starts at exactly the same revs. If hold the autobox...

hey guys, basically when i have my windows down, i sometimes notice a quiet ticking noise from the engine bay, is this a common problem?, i recently had the car looked at by a merc specialist and he spotted no major problems apart from the possibility that my water pump was on its last legs...
