Hi,
My car has been making what i can only describe as a 'tappety' noise under load at low revs for some time. I didnt know if it was a characteristic of the engine and it never really bothered me too much as with the stereo on, i didnt really notice it.
A colleague pointed out the other day that my car was noisy from the outside 'he could hear a rattle', i went in another colleagues car (same engine in a saloon), no such noise.
Cut a long story short and it turns out that there is possibly a problem with a plate between the gearbox and the engine which will mean MB will need to take both out and will need the car for at least a week.
Anybody else heard of this?
