[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 25, Issue 6

[Helmut Kern]

Hi guys,
I have a question and I hope someone has the answer.
When my '86 560SEC is in the garage for about 2 weeks and I start it, the 
engine sounds as if there is a bad bearing inside.I have checked the 
alternator,the AC compressor and the water pump and they all sound ok.
Could that be the timing chain?
I am also looking for a passenger side seat plastic cover
Thanks, Helmut
Welland,Ontario
