just wanted to chime my two cents.
I have ahd the same problem for a while.
A clicking sound when i start out and tap the brakes. And again when i engge reverse and then brake. Until I pointed it out did passengers in my car notice. It drives me nuts. In the morning i tense up in fear of hearing it. It is not acceptable for a car from any country to have this problem

I hav an 06 c350, noticed the same problem .. had them check it out when got serviced and they said faulty brake pad, they replaced it and it was fine for about a week or so and then it came back.. so annoying.. dunno what it is.

I replaced both front and rear brake pads with paste/ rotars, did a brake flush, parking brake shoe was replaced. its still there, I think it might be the rear caliper.

for this ticking noise, it sounds like the caliper hitting the rotor, I'm goin to the dealers tomorow, see whats going on with a few OTHER weird noises...
I had my front torsion bars, endlinks, lower control arms replaced for the front. I think I might have damaged the rear, so that might have to be replaced as well!

Nope the dealer wont cover my work cos the previous owner lowered the car and my SA voided any suspension issues from my warranty, Nevermind the fact that the car is purchased as a CPO in the condition it is in now ! I even have pics to prove it.

hey guys, i found this issue that i saw on B**world.
"Has anyone else ran into this problem. The specs are 2006 C230 auto. When in reverse and under 5 miles per hour, when you are tapping on the breaks frequently, it makes a sound as if metal is hitting metal. MB knows about this issue, but say it is normal use.
Does anyone know anything about this. Thanks in advance! "
and I have the same problem, its this loud metal "ticking" noise, I have no idea whats wrong. I the brakes apart, added brake paste, reinstalled the brakes and cleaned the rotors, whats going on!??

Have you figured out what your problem is yet?
