My 51 plate C220 has been laid up for about 15 months and the engine wasn't run for about the last seven. I had to get it MOT'd and they said they couldn't get the Turbo to work more than intermittantly, but long enough to pass the test?? Anyway, it appears that when I first start-up the Turbo works OK but quickly gets to the point where the acceleration becomes very flat and the max revs are 3000. The garage says it could be the turbo actuator that's sticky after sitting for so long, but I'm concerned that something more dire is wrong.
The car seems to drive very smoothly and mpg is still good, just no oomph. Any ideas?
