2002 S430 Engine Sound / Vibration
Hello Guys,
New to the forums and I was wondering if anybody has had any problems with weird noise from their 2002 S-430 and/or mild to semi heavy vibration from the engine.
I've asked my dealer several times about these issues but they always tell me that they dont hear anything or that they dont feel any vibration, or that's normal.
Despite of what Mercedes Benz of Greenwich, CT (dont get me started on MB of Greenwich) says, I still think is not normal and that there is something wrong with my car.
Anybody with similar issues?

hmmm... I think they are trying to avoid the issue, maybe its just greenwich, I frequent the Danbury Dealership just opened. There is a very good technician there that I can refer you to. He used to work in Manhattan Benz. Our family friend is the parts manager there and says he is real good. He worked on Ice Cube's "s600", it is actually a S500 with all the S600 designations.
Take it down to Danbury and ask for Pablo and you can say that Chris with the s430 told you.
Man... I would love to see/hear/drive that sl55 of yours, my dream car!

You really don't give enough information, what engine rpm, what vehicle speed, hot or cold or both, all the time, some times,what does the noise sound like....
