Hello everyone, i'm new here.
Just a quick question,
I recently picked up a B class for my wife and everything was OK for a while.
We went for a 2000km trip and now i'm getting a engine noise at idle.
Sounds just like a timing chain noise. Quite loud. I took it to the dealer for them to have a listen. They said it's normal.
Do any of your vehicles make a similar noise??
Cheers!!
The noise seems to fade away as the engine speeds up.
Just noticable at idle.
Not really a ticking noise but more of a rubbing noise. Like a worn out timing chain slack adjuster.
Dealer said everything is normal, but, to be honest i don't believe them.
I think i'm going to go to a different dealer and take one out for a rip to see if there's a similar noise in that one.
I've only got 2800kms on mine.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers!
I have a 2006 B200 with only 9 000 kilometres. I've noticed a ticking sound at idle, like noisy valve lifters. It seems to come and go. The dealer first determined that a head decarbonisation was in order, but the sound persists. Now an audio file of the sound has been send to Germany for instructions on how to proceed.....anyone else out there have a similar experience ?
I think I have heard that kind of noise too. Is the car moving at low or high speed? Mine happens during low speed. It is like a clock ticking sound.
My B200 also at times sounds like a slow clock ticking. I have no idea what it is at this time, and I'm not worrying about it. I've checked for bombs and all is clear.

A head decarbonisation at 9,000 km they must be joking what were they going to do charge you for it as 'fair wear and tear'
Please keep us informed on the progress of this one
Tell me about it.....the car is supposedly in Vancouver as of this afternoon....maybe I'll get it slightly sooner than expected? I would love to hear mine ticking
and all is clear.
