Engine rattling W204 C180 2010

[Rubel]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a simialr issue or can advise me on my issue im having with my 2010 C180 W204 engine petrol.

Durring lockdown i didnt drive the car much and however a month into lockdown i noticed a rattling noise coming from the engine, the noise is constant.

I then had a service done by an indy and he suggested to me that the gears and chain might be going and theres bits of metal in the oil filter even after one day of changing it. I told the indy only 2 years ago i changed the gears the chains tensioner etc at a very well respected indy (Wayne Gates) ive only done 17k miles since and it cost me almost £2k to do it.

Took it back to Wayne Gates and he suggested it sounded like a oil pressure issue but wont know untill the engine gets stripped which would be expensive in itself before even considering repairs. He plugged it in to a machine and it said theres a knocking coming from cylinder 3.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or knows how to fix this issue or recomend me a good indy in london not so expensive to take a look, thank you any help is much appreciated.

You could take a run to Alex at AMF in Kent but as he trained and worked with Wayne Gates for a while it’s unlikely he will be able to do much more than has already been said

What mileage has the engine got now ?

Hi my mileage is 68k

thank you everyone for your responses, interms of worst case scenario how much would you say is labour cost in stripping out the engine?

If there was metal in the filter 17,000 miles ago could that have come home to roost now ?
What was the last oil change filter like and how long ago was that ?

So I serviced the car on Sunday and that oil filter had bits of metal in it. Than the day after I Put a new filter in I took It to Wayne gates and they found more metal in the new filter.
