I just had a look at www.alldata.com and for the W201 found mention of knocking noises in the door locks and also knocking noises in the check straps (so the other replies may be correct). The noise in mine does sound like a sharp solid crack in the lock region. I also saw reference to noises from manual seat adjusters on winding roads, something I also sometimes notice. Does anyone know of these problems and where to find the fixes for them?
