S205 C200 Petrol Engine Sounds Shocking
Hi All,
Long story short - my 67 plate (late 2017) S205 sounds terrible, in my opinion. I have only had the car around 3 1/2 months, and initially thought there was an interior weird ticking noise.
I am now convinced that the noise is coming from the engine, and that the engine does not sound correct for a car with 41k miles on the clock. I know nothing about cars or engines at all, but have read around, and am now slightly concerned that this could be a piston wrist issue, or an issue with the high pressure fuel pump? I checked the oil today, and it was on minimum. The car was apparently serviced at MB in Sept 21, and has done circa 3k miles since then.
The sound is audible in the cabin, and gets slightly louder as you accelerate. The noise is also getting slightly louder, I think, week by week. The car drives fine, with no loss of power. It basically sounds like a diesel.
I've uploaded a video here: https://youtu.be/rkno6juhf8w - 2 min of engine running from cold.
The engine sounds really weird at https://youtu.be/rkno6juhf8w?t=71 and https://youtu.be/rkno6juhf8w?t=27.
Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated before I go and spend ££££ getting MB to look at it.
