2016 GLC Knocking noise

[GeoffAClark]

Hi all, This thread is not related to the steering issues on the GLC which are well documented.
My 2016 GLC 220 (5000 miles) has developed what sounds to be a knock or vibration noise possibly from the exhaust system (Almost like an injector knock). It primarily is heard between 1500 and 1800 revs (normal operating range) when the car is in drive, and does not vary by speed of car in terms of rhythm. Particularly bad when the car is cold, but still there when up to operating temperature. Basically sound like a tractor at times.
MB dealership cannot find an issue and having driven another GLC which had a similar, but not the same noise, their saying it's just the way the GLC is.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? And has there been any resolution?

Sorry to hear about your issue; but wow what a response. Seems to be a theme with MB at the moment.

If you received no satisfaction from your Mercedes dealer [ Sytner?- a guess from your location you posted ? ] then perhaps try another MB dealer preferably not part of the same group. A quick search also brought up this Mercedes independent Millennium Mercedes | Independent Bedford Mercedes Garage | Welcome --- no idea how good they are. Other's may be able to comment from experience but they are listed in the official Mercedes-Benz club directory.
