Hi
Please forgive any ignorance, I'm new to Mercedes and not exactly full of knowledge on cars anyway.
Recently purchased a little 06 plate B Class, 1.7 petrol. I've noticed that when accelerating, especially at slower speeds, there is a scraping sound, I'd describe it as a 'rusty' sound. The sound goes away once speed is hit for that gear? I also noticed when sitting idle and then putting in gear or taking out of gear, there is a small 'clunk' sound. Don't know if the two are connected. The dash flashed up with Battery alternator visit workshop aswell.
The previous owner said the alternator was replaced about 4 years ago.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
