Did you get this resolved? Caught my car making a lot of noise the other day when cold so as said above seems to be part of the design.EQA AMG 250 AMG 6 weeks old making a horror noise when starting form cold. Is this normal? Any ideas what causes it? iCloud
Goodday RDAus, interesting report. I find many noises are more noticeable because there is no engine idle noise to mask them but that is not the whole story -My EQA is around 8 weeks old . I had concerns with squeaky, jerky brakes and shuddering vipers. Sent it to the service station. The vipers are fixed , the squeaky noise is still there and a new, very loud screeching sound is now prominent. They said they've run all the checks and there is nothing wrong . I refused to bring the car back in that condition. They said they would do something about the screeching. Next morning I got a text saying the car was fixed. They told me I should drive the car for a few thousands of km and it should settle. I brought the car back but am finding it extremely embarrassing to drive it with all the noises that it's making. In my entire life I have never heard such sounds coming out of any car on the roads or have known any friends or family who've experienced something like this.
Thanks for your input. I am still at a loss ...Mercedes Benz have said there is no issue and that I need to drive the vehicle....Goodday RDAus, interesting report. I find many noises are more noticeable because there is no engine idle noise to mask them but that is not the whole story -
SHUDDERING WIPERS I find can sometimes happen again from wax on the windscreen after car wash dries completely. So it is needed to remove wax, on windscreen area, after car wash as soon as possible- works for me anyway.
SQUEAKY BRAKES was helped also by preventing wax getting on brake calipers in another car I had to prevent squeaking, but more relevant for me is lack of brake use, so engaging the brake calipers instead of regenerative brake system helps me anyway. More information in this thread:

Squealing when turning left
Hi everyone, wondering if anybody else has encountered this issue. I’ve had the EQC about 2 months now and all of a sudden it started making a squealing noise when turning left and sometimes when going straight. The sort of sound you would hear when braking when pads are going. I took it to...www.mbeqclub.com
It also seems to takes practice/finesse to stop in a way that isn't jerky yet engages the brake calipers in a reasonably quiet way just before stopping completely, and the adaptive cruise control doesn't seem to do this as well as I learned to do myself interestingly. The adaptive cruise stopping can groan like a trumpet in certain situations even, in which case I stop car myself.
I wonder do you have the smaller (18" or 19") wheel size as I sometimes imagine the biggest (20") wheel option might be less jerky/bouncy coming to a stop. You will know that recommended tire pressure might help too (measured while tires are cold and compared to list inside charger cap - not measured with the app) as low pressure will be bouncier I find. Maybe the car design could be improved by have option of automatically stiffening suspension just before stopping though the relaxed suspension helps for relaxing ride quality I find while at speed. Dynamic mode instead of comfort mode seems to stiffen suspension a bit too, in EQC anyway.
Squeaking wiper blades are not a manufacturer issue as has been said before wax on the screen will cause this or indeed other pollutant build ups The blades and the screen should be cleaned and the problem will go away.Thanks for your input.

The latest issue that's come to my attention is collection of water in the charging port. Yesterday was the first time the car was not under cover and it rained very heavily. I am too scared to charge it. Taking another day off from work tomorrow to take it to the dealership to show them.
Has anyone encountered something like this with their EQA or EQC?
How much water are we talking? Here's how my EQC looks after I've washed it. I've never been too concerned because nothing that matters is wet. I just give it a quick wipe with a rag. DC chargers in Aus are almost never under cover, so sooner or later on a roadtrip, you're going to have to charge during rain. In that case I make sure I've got the charger's "nozzle" in hand ready to go before I open the inner flaps.collection of water in the charging port.

During handover, my dealer told me to expect that, and placed a complementary 250ml bottle of this stuff in the driver's door pocket. One squirt on the windscreen and problem goes away.shuddering vipers.
