It's gonna be serious if you keep driving like that. I know if my car was making funny noises, I wouldn't go around driving it as hard as I could.

So, since you could reproduce the sound for the tech, did you just keep the car, or did you leave it to get checked out?

I dont know what the hell it was, but when the tech came in the car to hear it, it was gone. Its been there for the last week too on and off. There would be a nasty sqeak/howl at idle that would acompany the grinding noise at high rpm. I just hope its not something serious, I have had no other problems with the car. Its weird it totally disapeared, i would have wished they could at least hear it.
I'm surprised that the ECU let you gun it to 6K with no load on the engine...I thought that the MB ECU limits the car to 4K for no load RPM(revving it in nuetral).
