- 54 W211 320Cdi Avantgarde
Car's fairly new to me, done about 3k miles in her, ( she's done 37K) I have a noise, a ticking tappety one, you can hear with the window open when you pull away and the engine is warm, ( doesn't do it when it's stone cold, needs the temp up to 50 degrees before it starts). This only occurs when the care is on load in Drive, put her in Park, rev her, no noise.
I was in the stealers today, booking it in for an ATF change, saw the workshop forman/senoir tech, told him I have a noise, heasked, Does it do it when pulling away, when you have the window open?, yes I say, he says, 'lot of the 320's do that'....
So do I have a problem?, is he pulling my leg?, what do other 320 cdi (not V6) drivers say.
It's not an injector 'chuffing' seal problem as there's no soot around any of the injectors.
Anyone have any thoughts?
