I think this thread need to be closed...

Fault can be always driven out, easiest way to find out whats wrong...

Nope, we need to know the outcome. It may help others with a similar issue. I don't want to say more than this...

If it is chain rattle, it may last months yet, or it may jump a cog at any time and wreck your engine - which means that your car will be toast, because a replacement engine will cost more than the car's worth. Delay is the killer here.

If you're now thinking of going elsewhere sometime in the new year, why not bite the bullet and take your car to an independent Mercedes shop NOW, for a second opinion. It might just be the best medicine your car will get.

My w205 220 with 58k on clock is abit like that too. Chains are a bit noisey but snap less thats the trade off

well i been using the same guy for 15 years therefore i would tend to trust him to a point if he wanted to have me over he would of said change chain if it was ok still for say 800 pound
