Loud engine ticking?
Started the car today and it had a loud ticking, like a lifter problem or something. 2008 CL63 with 70,000 miles. Just had it serviced 6 weeks ago at MB sugarland dealership. Heres a video. What do you guys think?

Shardul,
I have powertrain warranty. I have been going to MB Sugarland, any eason not to deal with them? Any Better ideas? Thanks. BTW, I am in Bay City, so it's probbly gonna be a good size tow charge.
BTW, the car has 70K miles, properly serviced, how can it have valve train issues this early?

It can be a uncommon failure. Keep us posted on what they find out. My friend has a E63 with 40k miles and he dropped a valve. MBSL put a new engine in the car.

Got the car into MBSL today, but they wont be able to really get a look at it till Monday. Said it sounds like a stuck lifter. Would that cause a drop in power?

It might be a long shot but when I had my abc pump replaced and after 3 weeks it was making a ticking sound. I was fearing the worst but had the hood open and tech was looking at the idle pulleys while it ran when he notice a bolt to the abc pump came loose and he torqued it up again. Turned it on and sound went away. Again its a long shot but if you went in for some kind of abc work, it might be a bolt that got loose.

Dealer said they cannot hear the ticking that was in the video I showed him. He said the accumulator sounds bad, not the ABC pump. He quotes $1500 to fix it. Sounds high to me. What do you guys think?

Accumulator is not a 1500$ job, unless they are replacing all 4 of them... and even if they are doing all 4 1500$ is high
1 accumulator is about 150$ part only
1 accumulator is about 150$ part only

is the dealer talking about the hose, or the accumulator cylinder?

He just said accumulator. I picked the car up today. The ticking from the video is gone. And I cannot hear the "howling noise" he talked about either. Car sounds just fine now. Go Figure.

It was probably a collapsed lifter. They can bleed down when an engine sits for a while, then pump back up after the engine develops oil pressure.

i believe the accumulator is also called the pulsation dampner and that is a hose and would probably cost $1500 at the dealer, where as the regular accumulator would probably be a $300-$400 price. it would really be interesting to find out which one there talking about. do you have the part # on your invoice?

tx Nuke, you have been getting a lot of help on the forum, it would be nice if you reciprocated when someone asks you a question, or asks for a response. i.e. part# on invoice.
thanks
thanks
