Hi,
As elfion says it is probably the ancillary drive belt ,the alternator puts a high load on the system after cold starts and if the belt is worn it may slip under this load ,replacing the belt should solve this. All Mercedes engines have camchains which have a very long life if the engine oil and filters are changed regularly.

Should not mean a new belt, adjust the tensioner.
