I have a 1999 E240 Avantgarde auto with 65000miles. It makes a slight knocking noise at low revs from what sounds like the differential area. It seems to sound worse once the car has warmed up. There is no loss of power or performance, in fact if you floor it from a standing start there is no noise at all. A friend of mine, who has owned meny a Mercedes, reckons that it might be the exhaust knocking on something.
Also when you floor the accelerator the engine does sound a bit on the noisy side. Is this normal? This is my first E240, my first Merc was an 1997 C180 which didn't sound at all noisy but it did have a smaller engine.
Any suggestions Mercedes owners?
