I got a reamer from eBay and replaced all five with Bosch. I was replacing them one at a time before that and they weren't lasting. The reamer ground a good bit of carbon gunk out of a few of the holes and they've been working great ever since. Do a search here for tips on how to get replace them without having an aneurism!

Loose belts will give this exact noise. I thought I had a bearing going out on one of the ancilliary driven components. After tensioning the belts, the noise went away.
I'm having a blast with my old Mercedes. Hope you do too.
