Hello everyone,

It is my first post here. I hope I don't make any mistake.
I have a C220d from 2019 with only 36k miles on clock.
The car is very well maintained and I look after it a lot.
Recently I started to notice the engine noise is a bit different, I would describe it as 'coughing' although I'm not English and I don't know how to describe it otherwise.
The engine seems to shake a bit more than I could think it's acceptable or normal.

I attached the video here, what do you think. (i tried to attach it but it always says it's too large even though it's only 4MB in 2023).

As this is a 2019 car, it's under warranty, what should I do, repair the engine shock absorbers / dampers on warranty or how should I proceed?


Thank a lot for all the suggestions!
 
For Engine mounts, best thing to do it put it into gear which bonnet up and brake pedal depressed. Apply a little bit of throttle to see how much the engine moves, its if excessive then it can be the engine mounts then. I assume you are not getting any error codes or warning lights appear?

I don't have any fault, never had one.
It's just the engine, moving more than it was before it seems.
The shaking is more intense than before I would say, obviously I'm not opening every week the bonnet.
I assume if I put in Drive and try to accelerate a bit, the engine torque will try to twist the engine in the compartment....not sure how to identify if the engine mounts shock absorbers are worn or not.
Maybe someone who had a new car can see this and advise what time and mileage the engine mounts become worn.

Thanks a lot man!
