  • is this a turbodiesel?

  • Nope. Ordinary diesel...

  • sounds like diesel knock...maybe through the hydrolic buckets?

  • A knock? You mean the knocking noise before I do the revs? A Mercedes mechanic once told me that its proberly the one of the oilpipes to the hydrolic valves that could be jammed. Thats why when I do some revs, the knocking-noise dissapered. The oil gets forced through the pipe. After a while in idle, it starts again. Nothing serious, he insured me. W124's can apperently go on with this problem for 200-300.000 km. It just gets more and more annoying to listen to...

  • lol i once had a w210 e300 diesel (no turbo)

    one day i felt like a doing a kickdown, only the muffler didn't lol

    it blew the muffler off completely, first i was a sad man.

    but when i did a kickdown without the muffler i was happy lol :D

    O HAIL THE BLACK SMOKE!!!

  • Sounds similar with my M103 W124 260E except for this is a diesel, the engine fan sounds made the similarity.

  • oil flush :)

  • I also have a 1990 blue 300d, it sounds exactly the same.

    I posted on a mercedes benz forum asking if the engine idling sounding like a bag of spanners is normal, this is the response i got:

    The sound of spanners banging in a bag, is a wonderful sound.... especially v early on a cold morning when your trying not disturb the neighbours as you start up the car.

  • @Greelanx thats just the noise of a diesel. if you run corn oil in your car that knock goes away. it isnt any oilpipes.

  • Lovely sound!

  • tractor

  • The most beautiful sound ever!

  • @Greelanx Hi, I've got the same problem in my 90' 2,5D, (the car was standing for about 3 months withoat starting) yeas- its nothing serious for the engine, after 5 min its stopping to knock..fixing 'II cost about 250 USD (in my country)
