Last night my car sat outside for 3.5 hours at -29 while I was in a meeting. (the C230)

When I started it (unplugged) it most definitely did NOT sound like a diesel. This is not normal.

The M111 mill is not the quietest engine made, but not THAT noisy.

Other than confirming this is not normal, I have no solution, as it is too hard to tell you something without:

1. Where is the noise coming from?

2. How long does it last?

I can tell you this will be practically impossible to diagnose via this forum. You will need to have a tech replicate the problem.
