Like you are saying it sounds like the timing chain. I just had my timing chain replaced on my audi, for way too much. I think you are in the same boat as me, no one will buy it for what it is actually worth with the rattle. I would get it fixed for as cheap as possible and get rid of it.
Does not sound like a timing chain to me as when it fails om the om642 it initially rattles during cold start for roughly 5 seconds and smooths after but even the sound on your differes from the timing chain rattle. Have a look at this video as the sound seems close to what you're hearing on yours: ua-cam.com/video/q2cx3S5pKMA/v-deo.htmlsi=K87ngnDmD2rhMQFh. Check with your dealer the AEM recall for the diesels if that was done as it covers a long list of items for free for 50k miles or 5 years after the AEM recall was performed. This is my second ML with the om642 engine, a W166 so similar to yours, first one was a w164 and I love this engine and it has been reliable but some things cost a bit more as it has a Mercedes stamp😅. Dont get let down just take some time to get it sorted as it is a new car to you and you will definitely enjoy after.
They should cover your chain with extended warranty. What is your mileage?! And what is your situation now?! I am on the market to buy one. Never heard of chain going at this mileage on this engines.
@@bulatfatykhov mileage is just over 112,000, coverage to 120000. I took to local mechanic last week, and he found a collapsed oil filter possibly restricting oil flow. More to come when he finishes his diagnosis.
See I told you this not a chain. Chain usually go bad between 150 to 200k depending on style of driving. Yeah there is couple more things you need to address like pcv valve that fills up turbo with oil if not replaced since it sits right next to it.
This are great engines!
A german car with issues.......imagine my shock.

Still fully believe this is a timing chain clank. Partnered with the pump just not putting in enough work to circulate that oil as needed
@@Brotaku86 I agree with you obviously, now to get someone to fix it around here.
This doesn’t sound like a chain for me. Usually chain rattles only on a cold start then is goes away

After warranty expires I suggest you delete it and fix yourself! There is a lot of videos made by Russian UA-camrs that fixing this engines
