Desperate for some helpful input. My 2002 R230 (76k) has had a very loud tinny rattling/buzzing coming from what, (sounds like), underneath the front third of the vehicle, seemingly slightly more to passenger side. It rarely occurs on cold startup but once run to temp, is guaranteed to start whenever between 1800-2000 revs. Once warm, will also occur on startup.
New exhaust/cats, new accumulators, valve block, dampeners, engine mounts and literally months of down time have still not isolated the fault.
Only the pump has so far not been swapped out/refurbed.
Has anyone any experience or knowledge that could let me once again enjoy this great vehicle?
Bottle of premium tipple guaranteed reward for correct answer that nails this nightmare!!!
