Timing chain rattling at start up is a lot more common. I don’t remember seeing a piston issue on the forum

As above, M271 chain is prone to fail

Hello
I’m no expert but I would say it could be anything from £500 to £1000 (maybe more)

Stay away from MB and find a good Indy near you and get some quotes
What year is the car ?

Where are you getting the oil changed ?
Are they using the correct oil ?
Is it a MB garage ?

Piston noise - doubt that.

Tappet noise perhaps and sticky lifters. I would suggest some engine flush in an oil change but seeing that your engine baths well I doubt it.
