boost

About a third of the way into a 300 mile trip, I lost boost on the car, with it only kicking in now and again, accompanied by loads of whistle but not much in the way of stonking acceleration. Is my intercooler dead? No huge clouds of smoke so I know the turbos fine, partly because I only...

Hi, any one know how much turbo boost a stock E320 CDI (OM613) will develop? J :confused:

Only ever seen these for sale in Germany before, but here's one in the UK, anyone used one? Mercedes C / CLK / SLK Kompressor high boost pulley kit on eBay (end time 12-May-11 00:47:48 BST) Got loads of other bits too, tempted by the interior but cant be bothered to collect...

Hey, just wondered if a boost controller will work on my e300 td? and if so will there be much to gain from it? thanks :D

2-3 days ago my car start making strange noise. Engine runs fine and there is no problems with performance. There are no codes. I check turbo and it spools freely and without any problems as well there is no oil or other signs of possible problems but... ...here is what I have. Everytime I...

:doh: Hmm, what a mission today. It seems that my CDI just loves to fall apart, I noticed a boost leak, well heard it actually, by the time I got home, got it on the ramps & then dropped the undertray, the boost hose from the Turbo to the IC has a 3" split just on the elbow. Merc love...

As title, anyone know what it is? Mine doesnt seem down on power, to be honest it feels up on power to how I expected, but after hooking up a boost gauge to check it, I was amazed how low the boost is. About 3psi at low/mid rpm, 5psi mid/high rpm, and 7psi near the rev limiter (spikes to...

I had a look at my boost pipe that is linked to the inlet manifold. I checked it to see if there was any splits, I have noticed where it joins the inlet manifold the connection is not flush. Should it be? I have attached a picture. Thanks

Hi again, I need help regarding a supercharger issue. My car is a manual w203 c200 Kompressor MY2002, with the M111 engine producing originally 163ps. In its standard form the car was working under a boost level of 0,37 bar at full throttle. Near the rev limiter this could go a bit higjer...

Hi My brothers ML270 cdi is giving bother, she is limiting to 3k rpm and seems like the turbo isnt kicking in this used to be reset with turning ign off for a while but is now constant. I changed the MAF to a used spare one i have for the E300Td and she was flying again but there seems to be...

Hi all, my rustbucket has my (very reliable) local indie scratching his head. He's not without possible answers, but the symptoms are unusual, in his experience. The main symptom is a 95% drop in power under hard acceleration, usually after a kickdown or when cruising at motorway speeds...

My W211 E320 CDI (2005 model) has a very noisy hydraulic brake booster. It 'growls' intermitently, especially after the 'brake hold' has been applied. My franchised dealer tells me that this normal for this model but I'm not sure that I entirely believe him. Does anyone have any comments?

Hi I fitted a boost guage this evening for no other reason other than i could. Nephew had it fited on his Nissan 200 and removed it when he sold it so i popped it on and went for a spin. On full boost she spikes at 15 psi and then flaps back and forward between 12 and 15 psi. I assume...

Hi guys, hopefully you can give me some advise here, got 4eyed mercedes with 2.5 turbodiesel engine 110kW, i have a terrible consumption for a moment, i did refill, got 350km and filed in 42l of diesel.. equals 12l/100km. I got this car not so long ago, so now i try to investigate as much as...

Has anyone experimented with adjusting the turbo boost on the 320CDi at all? Being a black box set-up there doesnt seem to be any obvious adjustment and I suspect a conventional turbo bleed valve would be too easy a mod to increase boost. I have a Van Aarken 'smart box' as it is referred...

This has appeared in the cluster - after a replacement was fitted and re-programmed. There is a now a menu 'Heater' with a submenu of 'Heater Boost Function' with options of, Auto / Off / AC-Off Off Is it supposed to be there - if so what does it do ? One thing that has always happend -...

Hello All, Just had a fault read with my '99 E220 CDI CLASSIC, and I think it was a P1470, which obviously meant that the turbo's boost pressure was either one of too high or too low. In my opinion the boost pressure is too low as the car doesn't really have the extra push when you kick down...

Calling fellow C250TD owners... How much noise does your car make when it comes on boost? The other C250 I've been in is non turbo so I've not got much to compare to. I didn't think it was too bad but drove a bit yesterday with the window down and I can hear it quite a lot. I've had a couple...
