B160 Sport
I Have a B160 Sport cvt and every so often when I start it I get a kind of mechanical grating noise just for a few seconds as it starts. Last week I turned the key in the ignition and it did nothing - turned it back did it again and it started . As it doesn't do it all the time I recorded the noise and sent it to my local Mercedes dealer they said they can't do anything until they can hear it them selves - - anyone had problems with a starter motor on a b class before ? - only has 19 k miles on - Mercedes view was we never have problems with starter motors so it can't be that ? Sounds more like its an expensive job and they don't want to do it ( the car is still in warranty) anyone one know if the computer on board will have logged the fact and reason it wouldn't start ?
Thanks....
