My car's problem was the electrical turbo actuator. No idea about your car.
The turbo on an OM613 is very reliable and very rarely fails.
As mentioned in the thread, it is likely to be another issue, either MAF or EGR which are a lot more common.
The actuator on mine is working, did you had to replace for a new turbo??

I see it’s a bit away as you said. I will have a Mercedes specialist checking the issue and doing a Star diagnostic in 2 week. 20min from where I live let’s cross fingers to be something very simple. Anyway, is there any turbo cleaner your guys recommend or using of your engine to get rid of some of the carbon built?!
Thanks

The turbo shafts gum up if not regularly exercised
You mean the VNT mech?
I did see one with real bad pitting on the turbo shaft. It was my mate's car, he's too lazy for oil changes.
Yes these need a regular thrashing! Hard to do, legally...
