Got the correct valve installed, and after a week or so and a few hard acceleration runs in third gear on steep hills, it seems to be working properly. Still get some boost hesitation cold, but once it starts working right it holds all the way to or from work.
No CEL, so progress is being made! I'd not be shocked that the turbo itself was weak, it probably has 210k miles on it unless it was replaced earlier. Only drawback is that the milage had dropped a little, but that may be due to cold running, still takes 5 or 10 miles to get up to full temp of the gauge and longer to get full heat (the gauge is computer controlled, not direct....) Cheap fix. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
