Hello Everybody,
I have a problem with my E220 CDI (2001).
The car smokes when the engine is under load (terribly when under large load). At the same time as the engine revs start to drop following a gearchange, it misfires (a bit like a car with dirty points).
The following have already been changed:
MAF
EGR Valve.
None of the injectors leak, and no fault codes come up on the diagnostics machine.
Last week when it went to the MB Stealership in Newbury for some bodywork warranty work, I asked them to have a look.
The guy there said that the egr valve was faulty (prior to me replacing it). I pointed at the EGR on the front of the manifold, and said "this one?", to which he replied, "..no, there is a valve on the bottom of the turbo..".
The only thing I can see on the bottom of the turbo is the Wastegate actuator valve and I can see this move when the engine is revved.
Any ideas? I'm getting fed up of cleaning my bumper daily.
Thanks
Richard
