Hi all,
I have recently purchased an E220d W213 2016 from London Watford Dealership, the car has FSH, 40k Mileage, and has a 1 year mercedes warranty.
The car has an issue which i noticed after i made the purchase, and it has been in and out of the mercedes service 3x times now with no success.
ISSUE: When cruising on the motorway above 60 miles per hour, I hear noises periodicly when accelerating in a certain motion, it goes away and comes again, and it seems like the faster i go the more the sounds increase. It sounds more like grinding/vibration/rattling sounds, as if something is dying underneath the car. When this happens, my steering wheel also vibrates slightly, but it more or less gives me a tingling sensation.
I don't hear the noises when city driving up to 30 miles per hour, it starts to slightly occur around 40 miles per hour plus, and it is definetly audible on the motorway. Mercedes gave it a balancing on all 4 wheels but no succes.
I guess the reason why i am unable to diagnose is because i am having hard times explaining the sort of sound i get. But after some intense research on the forums and what not, i think it may be related to the below:
Possible problem areas:
- Driveshaft and its assoicated units / components
- Torque converter
- Engine mount
- Gearbox mount
- Front and or rear flex discs
Propshaft
- Steering rack
Any ideas or suggestions guys?
Thanks
