Mercedes Van Engine Noise

Recommended Posts

Hi team,

I have just joined the forum to get some advice on the sound coming from the engine of my Mercedes.

I have driven the van a few thousand km's now and the sound has always been apparent however, it has never changed.

Hopefully, some of you with more knowledge can offer some clarity.

My opinion is that it is something to do with the cylinder head as the frequency is too low for it to be a bottom end noise. I count roughly 6 - 7 'knocks' per second and at idle the crank is rotating 14 times per second (assuming an idle speed of 850rpm). 

 

Is it possible for a rod to knock every second revolution? 

Also, it goes away with a touch of the throttle as the video shows (sort of).


The video link is just below. It's poor at best however, the viewer can clearly hear the sound that I am referring to.
 



Any information is appreciated.
Cheers,
Justin.

Also if I need to do an intro to use the forum, let me know :)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
