2016 E63S Clicking Sound - Help!!!!
Good day everyone,
I have a problem with my 2016 E63S AMG and I'm really hoping there's someone on this forum that can lend a hand.
My car has 10k KM's and has made a clicking sound since new, but has gotten progressively worse as the car was broken in. This clicking sound is very noticeable in the cabin. It only comes about between 40km/h and 60km/h, only when accelerating normally. Off the gas - no clicking. Not between 40km/hr-60km/hr - no clicking.
I've uploaded a couple of cell phone videos to youtube. You might have to turn up the volume a bit, but you can definitely hear the clicking clearly. Here's the links:
Honestly, the most frustrating thing is my Mercedes dealership and how I'm getting dicked around. They had the car in, didn't find anything, and I haven't got a response back after a couple of additional inquiries. Very frustrating. You'd figure I'd be getting better service considering I spent $125k on this car.
I figure before I inquire with them any further I'd throw this out on this forum and it's user base to see if anyone has any type of insight that might be able to help me out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Marshall

The best or nothing
Where are you from?
It could be driveline related (driveshaft-diffs).
No vibrations?
Buy a GoPro and place it underneath and record a test drive.
All Benz dealers have a great integrity. No matter if you buy an A-Class or S-Class, they treat you in the same lame way.

Hahaha I have this as well, we have roadworks near where I live and I always thought it was a far away sledge hammer doing it work
rightfully so, you could say i was surprised when it happened and I knew for a fact it was coming from the car , as there were no external sources to produce such a sound
You saved me time capturing it on video, and I always feel it comes from passenger side, as you showed in video 2, but i must say mine has not happened for a while now, and I can not always get it to replicate.
I recall someone telling me once it might be the direct injection system sound
.
Let me know what you find out please and Ill see from my end
how do you get yours to produce its self?
from my memory it happens when costing, while foot of the gas, maybe a little wheel turn, but as i said has not happened in a long time

I had this sound, and after countless times trying to record it, I gave up and gave it to my friend who is a MB Tech, The noise is coming from the drive shaft hanger bearing, there is a fix for it, i believe it was some sort of adjustment to it. Mine hasn't made the noise since it was fixed a year ago.

As I said, have not heard it for a long time, but just in case it shows its self

I just got my car yesterday (25k miles) and I DEFINITELY have this sound as well. If there is a TSB I'll put it on the list with the wind whistle TSB
Suddenly concerned about the longevity of the non-engine in this car!

Brought my car in today for Service A and also mentioned this. I asked on the MBTrueNorth FB group and someone mention hanger bearing as well. Based on your video and mine, they sound to be the same.
Did you ever get it resolved?

I actually have this noise too. ONLY happens when car is cold in morning, and its only between 20-40MPH.
It sounds exactly like both your videos. Inside the car it kinda sounds like a fan spinning/hitting against something if that makes sense.
would like to get this fixed too. Only happens for maybe 30 seconds.

My 2016 E63S with 7K miles makes this sound too for the first few miles, then it goes away.
If this is a known issue please provide more info so we don't have to waste time explaining it to the service dept and having them try to figure it out. It is really driving me nuts every time I drive the car so it would be great to get it fixed.

I had a very similar noise on my 2015 that appeared at about the same speeds.
They replaced the drive shaft, and shaft bearing, but that didn't correct it. They ended up having to adjust the angle of the driveshaft, and finally the noise went away.

Do you know if it was rubbing up against something on the car, or against itself somehow?
On my car it seems to be more audible when decelerating between 30 and 40 MPH and definitely seems to be coming from the front passenger side of the car.

A quick update on mine.
Left my car at dealer for a couple of nights so that I could come back and drive it with the shop foreman. Murphy's Law and of course I could replicate it with him in the car.
He listened to the videos I've made and said he'd go down the route of replacing the hanger bearing after he double checked some things himself.
Will provide another update when I have more info.

i have dropped off my car for this issue as well. Waiting to hear back from them. I was able to reproduce the issue with the shop foreman previously so hopefully they can replace it.

I've noticed mine is no longer only in the mornings. I notice it now at the end of the day when starting to drive as I leave work. That would indicate that something is changing and in my opinion, change does not equal good in this case. #goodthingforwarranties
