Turbos making squeaking noise upon startup and shutdown

Hello memebers,

I have a c63s and my turbos are making a squeaking noise upon start and upon shutdown of the engine. Is this normal?

Looking for feedback as I'm getting ready to take the car in for the following issues.

1.) Brakes are squeaking extremely loud and they were just replaced (new rotors and brake pads from MB) before I bought the car.

2.) Headlight needs adjustment, I cant see more than 15 feet ahead of me at night without the high beams on.

3.) There is a clanging noise outside the coming from the front end of the car everytime I hit a bump.

4.) Turbos are making squeaking noise upon start up.

Your absolutley right I dont know. I only said turbos because it seems when I turn the car on I hear the squeak for about 1s. But when i put it in drive to get it to go I hear it again which made me think it was the turbos. And then again I hear it upon shutdown of the engine.

It could very well not be the turbos tht when I take it to the shop I'm not sure what I should say other than I hear a squeaking noise upon start up and shutdown coming from the engine bay.

They were able to fix everything but were not able to duplicate the squeaking noise. If I wasn't traveling out of town I would have left it there so they can do a cold start and hear it. But I'll be bringing it back anyways. Need new rotors and brakes.

You should get them check out your exhaust valve, I had the squeaking noise before and it is from the exhaust valves. They fixed it but now my exhaust have a clicking noise when driving at higher rpm, they are going to replace the back boxes for me.

Will do. I havent driven it in about a week. I was going to see if the problem was still there. If it is I will have to leave it with them overnight as it only makes the noise on initial cold start.

You could try turning the ignition on but not the engine, then switch the exhaust button on and off. See if the noise is from the valves.
