One of the heater directional motor gears has broken. Common and be covered on here many times. It needs to go on a Star diag machine to determine what motor it is. Its a labour intensive job to fix too.
My car does it, it's fixable but will cost from around £600 to around a grand to sort it and get rid of the noise as most of the dash has to come out. I've learnt to live with it....
I spoke to my boss's son, a tech at Mercedes, and he said the book time is around 10 hours, maybe a bit less. He also said that the parts that usually fail, the stepper motors, haven't been upgraded and he has seen cars come back a year or so later with the same problem.
Find an independant to do the job it can be a lot cheaper and they have worked ways out of getting to some of the motors/gears without a full dash out job
