New C63 507 owner - question about noise?
Hi everyone,
I just got a 2014 C63 507 last week on lease take over and love the car so far, though being that winter is starting here, I've only driven it a couple of times. Here are a couple of pics as it was shipped to Halifax.
Pretty cool car and it came with PSS tires on ADV1 SL rims, clear bra on entire front end, carbon fibre spoiler, diffuser and front spoiler plus Hakka 7 winters. The car also has the 2nd cat / resonator removed, I think it was the package from Mike on these forums????
Now onto the noise:
I have heard a weird noise after shutting the car off, about an hour later, it seems to happen every 30 seconds or so for upto 4 hours. It seems to be coming from the front near the rad and I can make the noise happen more frequently if I direct a fan on the front. I searched this forum and didn't find anything concrete relating to the C63 but seen some other models may have similar noise on the cool down (something to do with the coolant?). Listen to the attached vid, 4 seconds in. (Sorry couldn't embed it - link provided.

Would appreciate any comments on the cause of the noise. It doesn't seem common as I couldn't find anything about it specifically on this model.
Thanks all!
Sean

Yeah, quite strange? Do you sit and drool at the car for hours on end and thats how you caught it?
I really wouldn't worry much about it.
Side note -- Did the car come with the OEM 507 wheels? Or just the ADV?

I have a 2014 507 with about 2700 miles.
From day one after a drive I've heard a similar sound that goes on for a bit after parking.
Yours seemed louder but I've never popped the hood to hear it. It may be the cooling system depressurizing as it cools down.
Next time out I'll look to see if I can pinpoint it.
No, not drooling but in the garage with it or washing it down.

I have never heard that sound in my '13 P31 package sedan. Maybe it is common only on the 507 for some reason? By the way, very nice 507! I looked for one in sedan form but was unable to find a new one. Also, I was under the impression that the 507 sedan was sold out for 2014 and only the coupe was available. Guess I was wrong.

Really weird sound .. Sound like a metal pipe scraping up against another piece of metal

You have the new Transformer. It's definitely a decepticon. On a serious note, my 2010 has never made that noise. Very strange.

There are allot of posts here about folks hearing the noise.

Consensus is that its a system added to the post 2008 models to dry down the AC evap system to reduce the chance off mold/musty smell in the cabin.
There are ALLOT of owners here and on Benzworld that hear it.

Since another 14 C63 507 members has the very similar sound, I figure it's normal.
Thanks for all the replies and comments guys...much appreciated.

Yeah - it was a pretty good deal and only 20 months left on the lease. Cash back was simple process via wire transfer from original lessee.
