Description
Our 2014 GL350 has a pretty gnarly rod/lifter knock and there are metal shavings in the oil.
Here are a few videos of the sound:
When I first got it running, the issue sounded intermittent (1st video) and then turned persistent (other videos).
Our local mechanic shop told us that it had seized up, but I changed the oil and put some additives in and have it running. Likely will need to be machined, but need a mechanic who can fully diagnose and help us get it fixed up.
If you have experience with these engines, please let us know if you're able to help us out. We are happy to have it towed to you.
