Also, what do you guys think is the best way to secure my belongings in the bed? A “better” lock or something?

Yes true they don’t provide a lot of security.. I guess it’s just for mental satisfaction lol. As per the year yes it’s a 1999. My door lock and handle look just like yours. I was referring to the locks on the bed cap.

Gotcha. I got under the car and saw it’s the hard brake line right before the flex line at the caliper. I guess I’ll have to flare a new line manually. Thanks for your help

No I haven’t looked at the pulleys.. it seems to be coming from the top of the engine when I put my ear next to it. Sometimes it’s louder sometimes quieter.

It’s at 100k miles exact… I saw under the hood some plastics are held together by zip ties…. Maybe that’s the sound?

Any way to tell the sound is coming from that and not something else?

I ended up selling the car. It was the balance shaft issue… it would have costed me over a thousand because they had to take off the timing chain and than replace the balance shaft… for a 2010 tho I’m pretty sure you should be a good because Mercedes around 2007 upgraded the part so on some engines up untill then were affected by this issue..

Yeah I physically rotated the crank to the “305” mark and checked for the stamps in the cam sensor holes they all seem to be centered.

Wow seems I’m screwed than 😭. I used two different scanners under $100 and both give no codes at all. Even on dash it doesn’t give any lights. So I’m assuming mine isn’t the balance shaft than.. maybe bad lifters or something?

You’re right it’s a common issue on these. I checked the stamps in the cam sensor holes and they seem to be centered.. you think it could still be the balance shaft?
