R 320 CDI Engine Rattle

I am experiencing a rattle noise until engine is warming, once is warm the rattle goes away until next morning.

I get the same rattle when i Reverse for some reason but not at all times.

Thank you for any comments and help to identify the above problem.

I have an 08 R 320.

But - the very same happened, when it is very cold out (less than 10 degrees) and the car is warming up - there would be a vibration noise.

I narrowed it down to a heat shield over a muffler. That "tinny" rattle would go away, but it was there.

In warmer temps, not there at all.

Good luck.

Thank you for your input,

This morning I have tried to find the vibration noise around engine compartment but I can't identify where is comming from and once I am around the engine I can not hear anything it seems that I can only hear it when I am inside the car with all the doors and windows closed.

Need to do more inverstigation next mornging
