Engine noise per TSB
LI03.10-P-052286 SEPT11 knocking noise from engine, inspect cylinder walls for scoring if found engine must be replaced. Affected vehicles are mostly production dates from 8/10 to 11/10 but might be outside this range situation was corrected as of engine # 2729xx 31932895 & 2739xx 30441186.
First I want to thank Konigstiger for his helpfulness and information. He is fantastic.
Has anyone had this situation to occur? For M-B to state engine must be replaced makes it sound like an extremely serious situation.
I'm concerned because I only put about 5,000 miles per year on my car and wonder if this problem could turn up after the warranty expires at 48 months and then M-B says I have to pay for engine replacement. Makes Hyundai/Kia 10 year/100,000 mile warranties sound even better.
My E350 does have a rattle or chatter upon cold starts for about 15 secs., but service tech stated that was normal for the car. Is it?
Thanks.

Yikes! Engine must be replaced? That's gonna leave a mark of M-B's bottom line.I wonder if it applies to diesels....although mine has been as solid as a rock so far (6K miles).
