  1. Will it continue to operate effectively despite the spun bearings? Do you not believe that the servicing on Friday will be beneficial?
  2. The oil level is adequate; nevertheless, the oil appears excessively dark and thin, suggesting it has not been changed for an extended period. A service appointment is scheduled for Friday.
  3. I seek advice regarding a recent experience. I undertook a 240-mile journey, and five miles from home, the low oil pressure warning illuminated on the dashboard for ten seconds before extinguishing. The vehicle continued to operate normally without any unusual noises. This morning, it is functioning without any warning lights. I lack service history for the car, so I am unaware of the last service date. I plan to change the oil and filter today.
  4. Are you referring to the wastegate actuators? Indeed, both are calibrated within a tolerance of +/-0.5mm when the service function is executed, and both exhibit visible movement when actuated through Ista. They appear to be fluid rather than abrupt. This is also evident when the ignition is activated, as they cycle, correct?

  6. Boost is regulated using electronic wastegate actuators controlled by the DME, without the use of external diverter valves or boost control solenoids, unlike previous engines, to my knowledge.
  7. Hello everyone, I am seeking assistance as I am perplexed and uncertain about the next steps with my vehicle. Replaced turbos, charge cooler with new OEM components, charge pipes and J-pipe; the issue was equally evident with the previous hardware. The vehicle is experiencing underboost in the low RPM range, and smoke tests have revealed no leaks. The vehicle exhibits no fault codes, which exacerbates the frustration. Any alternative perspectives or suggestions would be appreciated. The attached log is a WOT pull in third gear in sport+ mode, with traction control disabled. The vehicle has a 50,000-mile competition history, has never been mapped, and has only had a software upgrade in 2019. The oil pressure is satisfactory; nevertheless, it was not documented in this log.
  8. Upon removal, it had the orange seals, which have subsequently been replaced with the purple ones. The most intriguing discovery was that the EGR flap, which links to the throttle body, was completely obstructed. The aperture intended to measure around 2 inches by 1 inch was entirely obscured by a 10mm thick layer of carbon accumulation. I was astonished that an EGR problem flag did not appear. Everything has been meticulously cleaned, and all seals have been replaced.
  9. Thank you, the vehicle was inexpensive to acquire at the time due to its Euro 5 engine. I have spent more on achieving accuracy than the cost of the car. The oil cooler seals were deteriorated, resulting in significant leakage.
  10. And that is without effort, since I completed all the job!
  11. The genuine expense of owning a Mercedes is substantial, although it is well justified.
