Engine tap 2003 mercedes e320
Mercedes has 146k, purchased approximately 45 days ago... Just a few days after purchase "Check Engine" light comes on... Had this problem repaired and car passed emission... Tap, tap started roughly two weeks later...
Engine tap occurs in first three gears on acceleration and transmission shifts and engine brake jumping or lunging of transmission... Read up and reset transmission memory couple of week ago...
After interstate driving smooth after exit, usually starts after a couple of stop and go's... Sometimes tap at one light and not the next light... Drove Mercedes twice last week (mixed driving) without tapping noise...
When running right engine purrs, shifts smooth and seems to pick up a few horsepower... Love driving the Mercedes, owned a BMW, Jaguar and this is my first Mercedes... Simply do not want to cause further damage driving the car...
Do not mind spending a few dollars on this car... Simply do not want to be overcharged for something not necessary... Mercedes is very clean and well kept in garage...
