AMG Gts ticking on cold start
Hi All,
Since a week i'm the proud owner of a 2015 AMG GTS with 37k original km's on it.
When i start the car with a cold engine, i can hear a ticking noise. Off course there are many topics about this, but most seem to be different. My ticking noise cant be heard in the engine bay, but only from besides and under the car. After 5 minutes it disapears when the engine is warmer.
Below i posted 2 video's. On of the ticking sound, and one of the engine, wich seems to sound quite normal.
Does somebody have an idea if this is normal? Or should i have it checked?

I'll start mine later today and see if I hear anything similar, TBH I've never noticed. I have a 2016 with 35k or so on it.
My E55 ticked, and most of the cars I've owned tick and I've always put it down to normal lifter noise

my engine sounds the same under the hood. from the front tire I do not hear the ticking like yours, but if I did I'd assume its pulley noise. You could get it check out but I personally would not be too concerned.

Thanks for your answers!
Wouldnt a pulley noise stay when the engine is warmer? And a lifter and injector tick would be noticable under the hood also maybe.
I was thinking maybe a small leak in the exhaust manifold?

So, for everyone who's interested... i brought the car in to check it out. The sound is coming from the driveshaft. (i dont know the exact english word for it, but the axle from the transmission to the rear differential). It wont do any damage on the short term, but if i want to get rid of the sound, it needs to be replaced.
I am waiting on an estimate now. For a 'normal car' i wouldnt be too conserned but i think this one will cost a fortune. I read somehwere it is a carbonfibre shaft.

in the US there was a recall on the driveshaft I believe due to the bonding failing, not sure what country you are in but may be worth checking
