that damn ticking
hey guys, i recently bought my 05 clk500 about a month ago and have noticed a slight ticking on acceleration especially from a cold start. I have read on here that alot of the 500s E+clk have been having this problem and that it had to do with the front motor mounts. Well i took the car in for service and let the service advisor know about it. He calls me up a couple hours later and said they checked it and it is normal. He said it is the purge valve. I reluctantly took the car back, but any of you guys get this explanation from your dealer? i think that ticking takes away from the v8s growl. You guys think i should go back and tell him to change the front motor mounts cause i still hear the ticking, even though it is ever so slight???
