Where does the noise come from in a Mercedes 450SL?
The noise usually occurs in the lower gears (haven’t ever noticed it in the last gear), and is always gone after I switch to a higher gear by accelerating and then letting go of the gas pedal to allow the transmission to switch gears (my car’s an automatic).
Why does my Mercedes Benz make a clicking noise?
It requires electrical power to crank the engine. The car makes a clicking noise but won’t start. Hint: Starter Problem or Low Battery This may seem obvious, but an old battery is the root of many headaches and can cause all sorts of malfunctions on Mercedes-Benz cars.
What should I do if my Mercedes 450SL has problems?
I don’t have money for him to take a more detailed look at it and fix it himself (I work on my own cars and am really handy), but I want to make the car run nice and smooth before putting it up on the market.
Are there any problems with my 1979 450SL?
So I’ve owned my 1979 450SL for a few months now, and I’ve put around 2k miles on it or so, and it still drives, and strong too (never driven or been inside another one to know if it’s supposed to drive better), but I have a few “problems” that need diagnosing.
