Engine start up
So I bought a used 08 C300 and the first few seconds after I start the car, the engine sounds a little rough and then the begins o get quiet. Has anyone else noticed this on the start up.
When I bought it, it was listed as a dealer car with 19k in mileage.

Do you mean knock-knock-knock-knock as oil pressure comes up?

That's sounds right, its just a few seconds of what sounds like rough idle and then it disappears and smooth's out. I just wasn't sure if it was and enginge issue.

So, forget it.
BTW, mine still makes the noise on most starts at 21K miles.
