Hi all, I wonder if you can guide me a little.
When I start my car up it makes a huge noise, only for 5 seconds or so then it goes away.
I got the car second hand from mercedes salisbury coming up to 2 years ago now with 22k on the clock.
Got full MB service history and its only done 50k now. A b3 service is due now.
Given to an ex merc technician and he's advised its either timing chain thats slackened or oil pump and that I take it to mercedes and see if they give me a goodwill gesture as the parts shouldn't go on such low mileage.
I am a taxi driver, but mainly deal in long distance work private work, no finance on car and I told them what the car would be used for before I brought it.
Has anyone had this problem before? Has anyone got a goodwill gesture? If so, how did you do it?
Its out of warranty so would I be better off going to a specialist instead?
