Clicking noise lasts for about a minute during cold start.
When warm no sounds engine very quite. It's a c200k with 25000 miles on it.

Normal. Are you using 5W-30 or 5W-40 oil?
 
5W-30 or 5W-40 might be better than 0W-40 in this case and allow the oil pressure to build up quicker and reach the top of the engine sooner when cold.
 
So mark do you think it sounds normal on cold start ? The video was made of the car after it had been stood two days in the cold.
