Hi all )
Just bought another merc..
W202 C180 1996, auto.. a/c the lot..
anyway cut the long story short..
Whenever I have a cold start.. when the engine temp is cold, I start the engine up and I hear a clciking sound from the engine..
The clicking sound is there all the time, even when I accelerate it just gets louder and faster.. limited to 4000 obviously because its a w202 i guess..
anyway,
however when the engine starts to warm up, i.e 60c or 80c warm temp
the engine purrs excellently...
no sound at all
even on full acceleration
absolutely no clicking
its just until engine gets slightly warm the clicking is there
Any Ideas guys?
Thanks in advance..
BTW, the service was done - according to service book - Sept 09..
so i guess the oil inside is ok,
but could it be the wrong oil causing the clicking?
wrong grade?
Thanks again.
