C63 engine buzzing noise

hi everyone, my last problem is solved but a second problem still unsolved!

So, it's a buzzing noise coming right from the intake manifold you can hear it above it...
When the engine is cold the noise is not here or just a light whistle, but the hotter my engine is the louder is the whistle as you can notice in the following video guys.
No acceleration problem, normal consumption( if you can qualify the consumption on this car normal lol) engine is not hotter than usual, no CEL's..
When the hood is closed the noise is much lower and when the engine shutting down the pitch is higher for 2-3 seconds
High pressure of coolant or anormal pressure of something?
Hope it's not related with my "old man driving behavior?"^^


Thanks guys!
Cheers

This was posted on before, I cant remember what the fix was but it involved changing a small part at the back of the engine if i remembered correct but wasnt exactly crucial.

I know the last time, i got a cel and my dealer replaced something behind the engine, a valve but i can't remember what kind of valve it is...
I found this
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/505476-08-w211-e63-vacuum-shut-off-valve-not-working.html
What do you think? But the video isnt available anymore :/
Does the valve in the topic i show you is connected outside the engine i mean even if it is situated inside the intake is it possible to unplug it electrically outside the intake?

Get yourself an OBDII reader. You'll be able to pull the codes in the future.

Fresh news, so this morning i went to my dealer and the head technician was here, 5 seconds listening to the sound and the verdict is a vacuum leak somewhere in the intake manifold... Maybe it's shot or the screws are untightened or the gasket is faulty. I have an appointment next monday for this and for my front bumper because of an idiot at the gas station last week
Anyway, the intake manifold is covered by my warranty Hopefully regarding the price lol.
My OBD reader would be in my postbox by the next days and will check this and will send you the codes, maybe it'll be helpful for some other
I also read this:


https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...e-noise-3.html seems to be very related with my issue.


After all of these issues i'll present you my monster in details

Here is the code... Seems well to be a vacuum leak somewhere and considering the whistle/buzzing noise, it's in the intake manifold

Yes system too lean bank one.
So probably intake manifold or PCV valve. Didn't your intake manifold gasket was changed already?
