Grateful for any pointers/suggestions form the brains trust as to why a turbo/actuator should fail on a 204hp 3222 cc inline 6 diesel on an E320 CDI year2004. Don't really want to bolt a new one on without knowing why it failed. Car not modified in any way Thank in advance

I have a 52 reg S320CDI with Comand. Today the radio made a loud crackling noise for a few seconds and then all the speakers stopped working completely. The radio still appears to tune in to stations. The navigation also works, but with no sound. The CD function says that no CD changer is...

Hi Guys My Parking sensors have ceased to operate, I get just 2 red lights on each side (front and back) no amber colours. The sensors don't seem to be seeing anything. Could this be a single sensor failure (would this affect front and back?) or the parking sensor control module? I have...
