Hello all,
A couple of months ago the old Benz started to make a strange tapping noise when stopping with gear leaver in D .
As soon as I put it in N the noise stops .
I tried everything to figure out where it's coming from but no joy.
I stopped the car against a wall , in gear so I could listen to it but no clue.
First I thought it might be the tap heads but they are linked to the oil pressure (as far as I'm aware) , and it doesn't make much sense that the noise is gone when the engine is idling in neutral .
I checked everything I could think of.
A mate suggested to change the engine mounts but I can't see how they can cause that noise and why it only appears at standstill in gear ...
Anyone has got any ideas where to start looking ?
Any info is greatly appreciated !!
