Sounds like there are a bunch of little explosions happening inside there! I'd get that looked at immediately by someone with the proper credentials to feed you a BS story and charge you a bunch of money for doing absolutely nothing.

It does sound healthy, the idle is smooth, that says a lot

Yet sound alone is not the best way to diagnose a modern workhorse...

You need to connect a scanner such as Launch CReader Elite to read all modules faults.

This will empower your ownership to reach a whole new level of armchair mechanics

lots of parts + lots of labor.

This fault means your engine is asking for a new camshaft with other 3 not far away.

Given enough rattling, the sensor wheel has shifted. That is driving the ECU timings off the charts...

This is a big job:
Remove highpressure rail
remove injectors
remove valve cover
replace new camshaft
replace new VVT Phaser
replace new HPFP + Roller
replace new tensioners
Set engine exact timings

Applicable to 1x or 4x camshafts.
🤞

if your transmission last service was a longtime ago, this job may not be worth spending a dime on -

Let somebody else enjoy this tic-tic - Even dealers say VVT rattles are no problem... Why can't you then!

I don’t have check engine or that much of a ticking but I do have oil residue on the sensor, idk if cleaning or replacing would make it go away, jus had the car for two month, got it from auction and they never mentioned it.

what's your budget to keep this car on the road?
It doesn't have to be perfect to keep moving forward on oil alone....

what sort of mileage....

Looking at you scanner screen, I see you don't have an active CEL because the fault is in PENDING status - The ECU is still debating...

If you don't have rattling perhaps it's the balance shaft messing up timings. There is a kit for that...

No point in rushing to fix anything without a solid diagnosis... you're paying for it.
Use your scanner to read live timings.

I have a problem with the M113 of the E55 amg year 2000, there is a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust with oil residue, the cylinder capacity is mostly at 170psi, I have already changed the valve seals and the same problem remains, where else can it be?

A lot of white smoke sounds like.... one of your two headgaskets is letting coolant in one of the cylinders.

-- What is the coolant level like: low??

-- Any chance the engine heads recently got overheated and warped.

-- Perhaps one of the long aluminum head bolts let go..?

-- I dont think it is heat exchanger but check the engine oil dipstick for oil level and appearance.


... I hope I'm wrong

At any rate BIG WHITE SMOKE:

means catastrophic engine failure.

Your safest chance is NOT TO DRIVE.
