Yes, diesels knock when cold (MBs less than some others, Volvo in
particular). The noise should disappear fairly quickly.
They are also somewhat sluggish cold -- don't try to make a dash into
traffic until it warms up some. White smoke cold is also common,
especially on the later engines --
It does the same thing as holding your foot on the accelerator --with
you having to hold your foot there ---
