Hi, I wonder if anybody on this great site can help. I have been looking around and so far got some great tips off this site, but I am a little bit at a loss with this one.
I seem to have a slight leak on the turbo input side of the ML. I have read the codes which shows a code of “P1470 16 turbo pressure input low” and when the car is driven it starts going OK, but the turbo seems reduced as it goes up through the gears to almost none in top gear.
I have had a look around the net and seen some home made pressure testers being used (charge the turbo system to @ 10psi then chase down any leaks).
The question is, for the ML where would you ‘charge’ the system, and are there any parts that would need to be blanked off prior to the test?
Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers
