Default 9 Ticks/Knocks from below the steering wheel when I start the car

Hi
I got a C320 2002, I just bought it, I noticed that each time when I start the car "Even when warm", it does cause roughly 9 knocks that seem to be coming from below the steering wheel. It is like knock-pause 5 secs-knock...etc..then all is normal for the rest of the trip.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

you have the dreaded broken stepper motor problem.
Mine did the same thing for about a week, then stopped.

Hi Again
One thing I notice is that when I do have heater on, and of course the Windows closed, i can smell the exhaust of the car in front of me.
Is this related ?
