I have a 57 plate c200 Kompressor which has an annoying drone from the engine / exhaust area when the engine is cold. It only lasts for about 30 to 60 seconds but can be rather loud if I pull away quite fast. When I bought the car last year from a Merc dealer I took it back to them to see if they were able to identify the fault. However, although I left it with them overnight when they started the car in the morning they said they didn't hear any unusual sounds! My year's warranty runs out next month and I was just wondering if I should take it back to them and if anyone here hears a similar noise from their C Class when the engine is cold.
 
sounds like its the secondary injection system workings when the engine cold it also more oxygen into the exhaust system too heat up the cat. its normal but get a second opinion
