thank you for your reply we are trying to find a solution to fix our cars so many people has the same issue with their cars of course i will not pay the $9000 I just mentioned how Mercedes dealership did know how to fix the issue . And i have mentioned what part they replaced trying to fix it but with no luck if i wanna trade it in or sell i will not waste my time looking for a solution:) Unfortunately, that?s a tactic of some dealerships to get you to buy a new car ? quote an absurd repair cost to lead you to the conclusion you have already made. But if the dealer is your only repair option, it might be the right one. I would suggest trying an independent German car shop familiar with Mercedes. Considering everything that has already been replaced, the symptoms don?t lead me to an immediate suggestion.

replaced vacuum pump
replaced camshaft
replaced oil pressure pump
checked the lifters

and after all that didn’t fix the issue, they need to take the engine out and check it from the bottom and that will cost me $9000 just labor no parts

i have 2015 slk250 1.8 turbo the same engine for c250 it had 25k mileage when the issue started now it had 44k

please if anyone knows what should i do ? I spend so mush money on and nothing fixed the noise getting louder no check engine light .

I understand your frustration, the rattling noise is terrible. haven't found any solutions unfortunately, a mechanic said that the noise was coming from the exhaust manifold gasket thou I didn't follow up on that since its only a rattle so far. I figured better to spend the money on more pressing repairs as a lot can go wrong with these cars.
