So I've noticed lately that when my engine is still cold and while its still warming up, when put on drive and the car is still, the engine makes a louder noise and vibrations are feeled on the steering wheel. When i take off it goes away until my next stop light or stop sign. After it warms up it goes away. Now i did an oil change about a week ago.
I have a 1999 C280 and it has like 106k miles on it

im pretty sure it's just regular noise that any 10+ year old car makes on cold starts i wouldn't worry about it. my 230k is a lot louder and jerky on cold starts but it's fine after like 5 minutes

Normal cold weather behavior. I was a little worried about the vibration coming form mine, but then I rode in my friend's Honda and its even worse about cold starts. Most cars hate the cold, I find my 230k smooths out when the engine gets to about 80c. Unless oyu have problems starting i wouldn't worry too much.

sometimes i have the problem on starting, like i'll turn the key to start it it'll make a noise like it'll start and shut off. so i have to re-do it again. Sometimes i have redone it a few times before it starts, and it starts, and most of the time it starts on the first try. I thought it was battery but I measured it up and it seemed fine. Everything is so complicated on these cars
