SGWilliam, did you also have the exact symptoms (glow plug symptoms,etc.) as described by the original poster? I did. In my case, the K40 relay was bad.

I think I read somewhere to change the oil while it's hot so you have a high enough drain velocity to keep solids in suspension.

With that in mind, I choose to change my car's oil using the drain...

Thumbs up appears to be the belt

Thanks for everyone's help. It does appear to be a noise coming from the belt. I half-heartedly spayed on belt dressing and the noise mostly stopped.

This did not sound like the belt squeals...

Vacuum related will be tough to track down. As heard in the video, the noise doesn't last long enough to do much tracking.

buzzing starts 1-second after engine starts and lasts about 0.5 second (for this video)

It's always different - sometimes the noise is immediately at startup and can last a full second

W210 buzzing on startup (WITH VIDEO)

I get a buzzing noise for 1-second (or less) on engine startup. Thought it might be coming from the power steering pump but I'm not yet sure. Perhaps it's the oil pump? Seems to happen more often...

very interesting question

I've always replaced the gasket. But not replacing could really save some money as much as we must remove the intake.

I always keep a spare gasket "in stock". I'll continue to replace unless I...

he already listed the part number (see above).

My '97 fuel filter is held on by a banjo bolt - not a valve. The only shutoff valve that I'm aware of (for a '97) is located on the IP.

Thanks for sharing.

The price for your part is almost half what I paid on my '97. They must have made my shut-off valve out of "exotic" plastic.

Sounds logical to try and rebuild then. Just be sure that if you screw something up that you don't cause a run-away engine (i.e., you can't shut off the fuel).

Never heard of anyone rebuilding. I just purchased one (same reason as you). I was in a rush so I had to pay the local dealer $200. I have a '97E300D.
