Mercedes-Benz C200-CDI Ticking

Hello Guys!

Im new here, and I would like to ask a question.

I drive a 2012 C200 (w204) CDI with 106.000 Km. The problem is; the engine is ticking. I looked up many cenarios but I couldn't get an awnser.

The car is not tickin when started cold. 3-4 minutes later, it starts ticking again. After a while on the motorway, stopping by a fuel station, the car is not ticking, then ~40 seconds later it starts again.


Oil change was 2000km ago, Liqui Moly 5w30 + LM Ceratec + LM Hydro lifter.

I would be happy if somebody could help me
Thanks for the Awnsers!

It still doesn't play. The link requires the file to be downloaded then will not play. If you are recording using an iPhone then that is the issue. MP4 would be a better format rather than .mov.
