There is a grinding noise in my engine. Its not the water pump or fan. It is comming from the front of the engine on the drivers side on the top. I pin pointed it with a screw driver and listened to it. What could this be?????

 

a pic and post it a sound file would be great also.

Front of the engine on top is where the cam gears and timing chains are in any MB motor. Or it could be a cam/valve thinghy. Does it go away when the engine gets warm or when you rev it?

 

Sorry to hijack the thread but i have a buzzing sound coming from my engine right after i start it and it goes away after i rev it to about 1k rpm. Sometimes it goes away on its own after like 1-2 seconds. This only happens when the engine is warm. Do you know what might be causing this?

 

This is the problem. It makes a light grinding noise and dosent go away[IMG]<a href="http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa152/mike430sport/?action=view&current=Photo_031708_001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa152/mike430sport/Photo_031708_001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

Thanx

 

Mike, you have the most obnoxious sig I have ever seen. I'm sure you love your car a lot, but we don't.

 

Are you happy now. You didn't answer my question above.....
You are the first one to be bothered. How come you don't show your car??
I try to keep people happy

 

Hey guys, thats the air injection pump. Mine makes noise too. It runs for about 60/90 seconds then cycles off when engine is cold. Then again in about 2 or 3 minutes it cycles again for about 10 seconds. Helps to pump fresh air into the exhaust ports to keep emissions down..........

PS: Thats not my dog thats me....................

 

Thank you

 

Your welcome..............

Thanks!

I don't care to show my car for several reasons.

1) There's nothing special about my car.

2) I'm sure that no one cares about each and every major and minor mod I do. Alert The Media! I got HID headlights!!! (sarcasm)

3) I'm sure that if people did want to see it, they wouldn't want to see it on the screen 3 inches tall and every time I had something to say in a thread.

 

Just thought this was a Mercedes Enthusiast board.

 

should not be grinding.Wrecking yard or http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro...20@Smog%20Pump
