Adjusting the viscosity for startup may indeed change the degree of noise but may not be the proper fix. How about temp? Does this occur when the engine is still near operating temp or just on cold start? My 104 makes a whishing sound on cold startup I finally traced it to the fan clutch. I was sure it was an internal engine deal.
There is something about 104's that the timing chain guides wear as well the tensioner can max out from chain stretch. The noise would be constant and not heal itself.
China! They have MB's in China? And English speaking techs? Must be a tough gig working with the locals if you're haven't mastered Chinese. |
Everything in life is a tough gig mate, ive been here 14 years and my wife is chinese, im english. As for MBs in China lol, we probably have more MBs in this one city than you have in the whole county. Thats county and not country lol.
We have CLK,CLS,SLK,229,220.140,GClass, M class to name but a few, we also specialize in BMW
On the 104 engines the tensioner and guides do wear but its not a major problem. Im thinking that your problem may be a cam follower but not sure yet.
