On my e320 i get this weird sound when i come to a stop or am idleing. the sound is coming from the engine or under the car. Its hard to explain. Its like a gargling sound that comes from a motorcycle or scooter but it is made by some physical parts and not gas. It sounds like a couple parts are loose or something. maybe ill get a video soon.

 

bump...

 

anyone?

 

does it sound like something rattling around in a can? I would guess one of the rear Catalysts is coming apart.

 

sounds exactly like that. what does that mean?

 

It means if it's a catalytic converter and your car has less than 80K miles and is less than 8 years old, it will be replaced free under warranty.

Otherwise it's expensive, but you have to do it because your exhuast system will become plugged.

Noises pretty much can't be diagnosed via Internet, so take it to a professional.

 

wow i see i thought it wasnt a big deal. the car has like 799X something so its really close it was purchased in september of 99 so that meets the requirments. But its out of warrenty...but the dealer will still cover it?

 

Yes, if I understand it correctly, any dealer should cover it. The catalytic converters have a longer warranty than the new car warranty, which I think was 4/50,000 on your car. You'd better hurry! Good Luck.

 

OH DAMN! I just looked and its like 100 miles over 80,000. Im pissed
