Noisy SL500
Do you remember clipping cards to you bicycle spokes for the sound, when you were a kid? Well, the sound my 1998 Sl500 makes sounds just like that.
When I cut the engine off, there is a faint scent of gasoline. I would appreciate any info on what I may be dealing with.. Thanks in advance.. |

Where is the noise coming from? Did you check the undercarriage, you may have something loose.
If you can't find it, Donnie is just around the corner. I am sure he will fix you right up. Wish I am that close so I can take my car in for him to look it over every now and then

If it is coming from the engine and you have the old 4 cam 32v
M119 V-8, there is a pretty good possibility one of the valve tappet oil delivery-tubes has lost it's end plug. The oil to one lifter is lost, oil pressure drops and the lifter starts "tappin" . removing the valve cover and inspecting all the little brown plastic tubes between the cams is a good place to start. if one is missing the little plug at the bottom, that is your culprit. If one has failed, replace them all. pn# 119 180 03 66. AGAIN, THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE OLD M119 32V V-8. and is a mere suggestion of a known problem. Best wishes DR.D |
