In June I finally manned up and tackled the turbo flutter on wider throttle openings on my 2007 E320cdi. MB Stockton wanted £2800 inc vat to supply a turbo, as previously said they don't supply actuators. The best Garrett turbo price I saw was £690, I eventually paid £144 for a Hella actuator...

The linkage between the actuator and turbo is easily accessible with the engine top cover removed, mine is sloppy and rattly in your fingers with engine switched off.

My 2007 E320cdi has done this since I got it early 2019. I was told it's a turbo actuator issue, certainly the linkage on mine is quite worn. I've never done anything about it because it doesn't happen in my normal use, only on fairly full throttle within about 5 min of starting the engine...

I service my own 2007 e320 cdi and change the air filters annually, there's a lot of trees where I live and the filters are pretty grotty when they come out. A lot of the stuff in the OP filters looks to be from trees. My car has both intakes open.

I did this job on my 2007 E320 cdi 7g last year having previously done a 2000 CLK 320 5 speed. I bought a gearbox service kit from MB Newcastle who delivered promptly and answered questions quickly as well. From memory the kit was oil, filter, seal, sacrificial bolts and the plastic tube inside...

The symptoms you describe are very similar to my w208 CLK 320 some years ago. A gearbox oil and filter cured it.

9L with torque converter, I did mine about a month ago.

It's the new bit on the end of the grey horizontal cable pic centre, close to the bulkhead.

Head bolt numbering. Left head 7 is left front 6 2 3 7 5 1 4 8 Right head 7 is right front. 5 1 4 8 6 2 3 7 Hope this all makes sense, details for a 2011 car

Details have some protection so I can't copy and paste. Cyl head. Max bolt length 207 mm 1. Bolts 1-8 10Nm 2. M8 20Nm 3. 1-8 60NM 4. M8 20Nm 5. 1-8 90deg 6. M8 20Nm 7. 1-8 90deg 8 M8 20 Nm 9. 1-8 90deg 10. M8 20 Nm Mains. Use new bolts. 1. 35Nm 2. 95deg 3. 95deg Side bolts 1. 53 Nm 2. 95 deg...

I probably can supply info from Autodata but it's all fairly involved, 10 stages to tighten the heads down for instance. It also says to replace the con rods as well as the bolts when doing the big ends, I would think it'll be an expensive job. It would be better if you supply detailed info on...

Sorry, typo on the rotor arm number, should be 1234 33 2337.

I took some pics but i'm not sure there's much point in posting them. I have the same control unit as you with no sign of any ballast resistors aside from the heater one. Coil, cap and rotor all seem to be Bosch, cap 9 290 004 565 and rotor arm 1234 55 2337. I can't see a coil number and the...

I have a June 1985 500SEC which starts and runs well aside from being a bit lumpy on cold idle. Let me if you want me to check any part numbers etc for comparison though you seem to have plenty of info to work with. Aside from what looks like a dealer fitted immobiliser the car appears standard.

I have an 1985 500 SEC and it idles at about 600 rpm hot falling to about 450 rpm in drive. I don't consider it a problem as it's smooth and never stalls.

Mine was a little beyond steps 1-5 listed above, as the original posters probably is as he is saying the ARB clamp has come away. Mine was corroded but intact under the fuse box but the other side under the battery tray looked like this on first inspection. The pic is taken looking vertically...

I see the link posted above is for removing the anti roll bar, I didn't. I took the side I was doing off the suspension and the mounting then jammed it as far out of the way as I could get with a block of wood. Seems a big job removing an ARB

I did my 1989 300SE under the battery tray on the opposite side, it was fiddly. It depends if you want concours or useable, once I realised it didn't have to be exactly as factory, just structurally sound it was a lot easier. On mine the mount was ok, it as the surrounding area that was eaten...

When I had a 2000 Clk 320 and the alarm started misbehaving I unplugged the factory alarm unit which was behind the passenger side fog lamp. Locking was unaffected.

Toe in is given as 3mm+/-1 mm, I assume that would alter with different diameter wheels though I've never set by mm, only degrees. Spreader bar load is stated as 100kg, not 10kg.
