Mercedes 420se 1987
please help 420se 1987 engine problem
Hi everyone,
I purchased a 420se mercedes 2 weeks ago, the only problem which is quite annoying is that when the engine idles it makes an annoying tapping noise. I just wondered if this is a common problem with the 420 v8 engines. I cannot locate exactly where the noise is coming from all I know is that it is definetely coming from the engine.
I would appreciate anyones advise/ knowledge to any idea of what it could be.
Thanks
Arthur

MBWorld Fanatic!
it could be the gaskets between the muffler manifold and the cylincer head, which could cause noise of that nature.
May be!
May be!
