Love your car's name. We named our 1980 280E "The Tank" our 1988 500SEL "Blue Beauty" 2001 E-320 "Mischief" our second 2001 E-320 "Big Bertha" 2011 E-350BlueTech to be named when we take delivery.
@webershainze Actually my mother named them, and I care that's why I posted. Please feel free to continue hating it doesn't bother me and all, I could care less what you think.
What did you do exactly to quiet the noise I have the same problem with my 71 280 SEL 4.5L. And do you have any suggestions on how to remedy the problem completely?
beautiful cars. I have a 1969 in cream. ^_^ Her transmission is a little creaky, but otherwise running beautifully with all original 1969 factory parts ^_^ I'll do well to live as long as her without new parts.
Hydraulic timing chain tensioner probably losing it's prime. Easy to replace. Same engine as 450SE or SL.

Same engine as 450s up to 1975. 76+ had mechanical FI vs the D-Jet EFI on the 71-75 models.
