Loud Bang from Merc

[chimaeradean]

Hi Guys
My wife was driving our C220 cdi today and heard a loud bang (like someone popping a crisp packet) she tells me- followed by a burning smell.
She took it to the Merc main dealer who sat her down with a nice Cappuccino and got a mechanic to look at the car. He could find nothing wrong. Any ideas ??

She drove over a bottle of juice/milk/red bull which then burnt off on the exhaust/engine?

Sounds like a philange has blown to me.

Hrmm. Capacitor gone pop somewhere?

Do all the electrical items in the car still work in every setting?

wot he said. if it works and all is good jsut run with it. pop bottles do make a hell of a bang and would smell pretty bad if caught on the cat.

then again cats make a hell of a bang and...

Spicy fart?

Change wife for one who doesn't hear loud bangs when she drives a Merc C220 cdi. Did she get charged for the nice Cappuccino?
