Hi All,
Went today to look at a 2012 C63 coupe with 61,000 miles. Car checked out ok but I'm concerned about the usual camshaft / cam adjuster issues these car suffer from. I've taken a couple of video here of the engine at cold start up, cold idle and warm idle. Would really appreciate if someone could have a listen / watch and let me know if this car is suffering from any cam issues. There is a bit of ticking on idle but I'm not sure if this is normal on the M156.
First video is actual start. I think I can hear the cam adjuster rattle on start up but not sure.
Second video is idle after the cold start cycle is finished. There is a ticking but not sure if this is cam issue or just normal noise.
Final video is idle after a drive. Car up to normal temps.
Again, any help would be great.
