A friend who has had his 190e much longer than I have had mine is in a jam. He has some sort of noise coming from the rear when he steps on the gas from a standstill. Once the car is moving it drives fine. I'm guessing that it might be a rear axle issue or a u joint issue. He is frustrated and wants to junk the car. He thought it was the transmission. I told him let me look in to it before you do anything rash. Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?
