Have you checked the poly V belt pulley bearings, you will need to remove the belt to test them but as it rev related I would supect something in that area.

For more detail see my page 57

hello lofty

Yep i check the V belt. I tak off it and start the engine and the noise is this same.

Have you managed to get MB or a garage to listen to the noise, I certainly don't like what I'm hearing if you have isolated the water pump, alternator, air con compressor pulley bearings which you did by removing the belt then this is something more serious, any signs of burning oil, water in the oil , oil in the coolant reservoir? problems starting?

no probllems at all car is runnig normla only this noise

[lofty]

Well there has got to be reason why the noise is there but sorry i can't help, how long ago since you changed the oil? as your aware normally the 'a class oil stays pretty clean is yours OK.
Even though the car is running OK I would try and get it checked out you obviously realise this or you wouldn't have asked for help.

I have seen a camshaft rusted to pieces on these engines and it made the same sound. Open the top of the engine and inspect the camshaft.
