Loking for help on 98 c240 auto still with 1 months warranty from merc dealer
1: On turning ignition I get "ticking" rather like flat battery sound but no flat battery.
On turning to second position engine fires first time
2: In neutral engine/belts run quietly but on engaging forward or reverse I get engine "squeal" again like fan belt squeal but on returning to neutral squeal diappears.
Can be replicated every time you move in or out of gear.
Are there problems with transmission and how does it work??
Any help apreciated

Would it not be easier just to return it to the dealer to be investigated under warranty?

Sounds quite straightforward to me, and I'm no mechanic! I assume the ticking sound is the fuel pump coming on? Alternatively could be a solenoid in the transmission or starter?
Squeal could be fan belt, given putting it into gear adds extra load from torque convertor (I assume its an automatic). Or.. maybe its the torque convertor?
As suggested take it back to the dealer, else you would probably lose the warranty!

As David W. says take it back to the dealer.The second problem will be a contaminated polyvbelt in all probability.Look for an oil leak on the offside front of the engine,around the cylinder head joint.
