Hi, first post and it's a "help me" one I'm afraid. I have a CLK500 (2003) and have an odd issue I want to work out before going back to the garage for the warranty work it obviously needs doing. The other day it was raining really hard and I went through a deepish puddle (left side only), when I put my foot on the accelerator it sounded like the engine had become a lot louder and in fact I thought I had a puncture, pulled over, no puncture. When I set off the noise wasn't there and didn't have any more issues.
Yesterday I was travelling up the M3 and hit a traffic jam and was stuck in it for 45 minutes, I could hear a noise from the same passenger front tyre when I was stationary, it sounded like a kind of grinding noise but stopped as soon as I released the brake to move forward. Once I got into some clear traffic and stopped again the noise had gone. (brake pads are fine, I checked them first!)
All of the issues seem to be from the front passenger wheel area, could someone suggest something it may be? could it be traction control system issues? (my thought considering when I went through puddle the loud noise I thought may be traction control having been soaked)
As with all intermittent problems I need to try and work out what it is before going to the garage, they will of course say nothing is wrong.
Thanks in advance!!!
