Hi All, We update. Car has now done well over 1000 miles (and an MOT) since all this began and it has not missed a beat. No stuttering, mpg maybe slightly better and it will spin up the rears in 2nd again if you ask! It's that sort of moment when you think, oh yes, this is how this used to...

UPDATE on Turbo and Judder Hello all, As promised, an update post turbo rebuild. Matters didn't exactly get off to a spiffing start what with the turbo arriving at Turbo Dynamics with the actuator "smashed to smithereens" and unrepairable.....There was also a bash to the turbo (cold side)...

To be honest, I'm not sure if it was sticky by hand as I didn't want to force anything on the electronic actuator as it was rebuilt by ecu testing a year or so ago. All the symptoms and fault codes now point to the turbo as others have experienced, however !!, if i'm talking out my erse and it...

Once again, thanks for ALL the info guys. I was on it at 7 am this morning before work and used a flat sided six 3/8ths socket and managed to get them all out. It helped that 1/3 tin of wd40 was sprayed on last night and was able to soak in! All turbo fixings were removed except the metal...

320 cdi turbo New Mafs arrived, fitted and car went like stink! T/c activated easily in 2nd gear and an instant happy bunny for oh half a day.......then judder:wall bash: I have spoken with merc, turbo technics and turbo dynamics. All have said sounds like the vanes on the turbo have...

Thanks Codger, I had a look but have bitten the bullet and gone to Merc in case of any drama. I post back once here so folk know the outcome. KennyP

Right, wee update. Missus took car out later today and the lurch/stutter returned albeit it only once and less strongly. The only bits moved/cleaned/sprayed were the maf sensors so I'm convinced I must be in the correct area. The part number on them both (Bosch) is: 0 281 002 695 They...

320 cdi Maf issues Right took off inlet to turbo from filters, removed the 2 flat mad sensors, sprayed in some carb cleaner and hey presto one working car. The new issue is, can't find them to buy separately and mer are £300 quid as you have to buy the plastic pipe as well.:mad: Anyone...

Hello everyone, I am suffering from what appears to be lack of oompf from my Brabus B6 and reading various threads on here does possibly point to the Maf being guilty. I have checked over the boost pipes and can't find any splits and the electronic boost actuator was rebuilt a year or so...

All sorted with just the bottom ball joint replaced and the big arm removed and refunded without any grievances from the garage. I think they just felt a wee bit caught out by it! Many thanks to all who offered input, much appreciated! KennyP

Wee update chaps. Put the car into local garage who have a decent reputation with the info of probable ball joints.....They changed the entire track rod arm. Picked the car up, drove 5 miles (you can see where this is going!) and noise returns. Take car back, they inject lube into ball...

Hi there, i'm just outside Dundee and could do with a good Indie. KennyP

Super offer but I'm 300+ miles away in Scotland. After yet another look, I am more suspicious of the bottom one as the top looks very clean and the rubber in really good nick. The problem seems to worsen with heat and with the lower being much closer to the brake disc I am starting to put the...

Thank again, I've been chasing it around today, sometime I can get the noise and others not as I try to pin point which one. I might just go with both instead of phaffing around. Top one as said is straight forward enough looking (!), are there any dramas with the lower ? Thanks KennyP

Thanks for such a quick reply. I shall test as suggested and let folk know the outcome. Cheers again. KennyP

Morning All, long time lurk but first post. Just as of yesterday front right started to groan/squawk over smallish bumps. Got car back home and pressing on the right hand wing gave the same sound. After an hour or two that test stopped creating the noise. Took the wheel off this...
