Rattles/noises/issues
Although I have an S550 coupe, there is no forum for such and I guess we post in the 222 forum. So my question is does anyone else have a myriad of unacceptable noises In their S? I'm loving the car, just thought I'd see what's up here.
1. Both door panels make ticking sounds, passenger door has even louder creaks and rattles
2. Dash area in front of driver makes a ticking type rattle (I know there is a bulletin for a replacement steering column?)
3. Rattle coming from glovebox area
4. There is some form of a wavering type of humming from dash or engine with AC on.
5. Ticking sound from engine that doesn't sound quite normal
6. Seatbelt presenter motor on driver side especially is loud as heck.
7. Active seat bolster motors loud and creaky.

You must definitely take your car in for point 2 and 5. I had the exact same issue with both my S600s (there is a thread about it). I took them in and within a week they had found the issue and fixed it. It was a problem with the seal in steering shaft or something like that.
Both my cars were produced at around the same time so we came to the conclusion that it was probably just a bad batch of seals since another S600 that we drove did not have the problem.

If anyone here has the answer to what causes this small noise, I would love to know what it is.

I'm gonna try to bring out in next week. I noticed now that when the door closes and steering wheel begins its automatic journey to my memorized position, the very beginning move has a loud pop or noise that sound similar to it being caught on something and breaking away. If you follow me.

I have been having this small ticking sound from the front passenger door area. It almost sounds like something is rolling back and forth inside the door panels. This is not a constant little noise, but it seems prevalent when I first start to drive the car during the day. I'm do for the 20,000 mile service in July so I will make sure to have the dealer check this out.
If anyone here has the answer to what causes this small noise, I would love to know what it is.
