I have a 1991 300D and at idle it does the normal clatter, but since I am new to diesels this always sounds funny to me. Are there different degrees of clatter or anything to quiet it down. My car was in for service and my Mercedes mechanic says the car runs like a top. I guess I am just looking for support from my newsgroup to tell me that is the normal.
I know it sounds silly, but my other car is a Lexus LS 400, which is very quiet at idle.
Thanks for your help!!
