W204 weird sound, Dashboard flashing and passenger airbag flashing

[NewbietoMB]

Hey guys ,

Just started the car today after driving 5 minutes this weird noise started to come and the passenger airbag light started flashing with the dashboard also flickering.

I’ve attached videos hopefully you could help thanks so much I’m advanced .

Hello. Sorry to hear you've issues.

Not sure turbo issues would cause the electrical gremlins!

Car does need to go to a decent MB specialist - what area are you in? There are some very good independent specialists on here, hopefully you can get the car recovered to one of them for diagnostics!

Edit: Just had a re-read... wondering if metallic noise is alternator eating itself and resultant voltage issue is causing your dash & airbag lights??? (Or you've got two separate issues!)

Good work, keep us posted. Always useful to hear what gremlins are at work!
