Blown turbo...!

[ALFAitalia]

Looks like my turbo has gone....Ive not checked it yet but with the play I spotted the other day and the blue smoke explosion that happened today Ill be amazed if its no gone pop.
I looks like its not possible to fit a new cartridge in situ as you cant get to the bottom bolt....pity. So I'm not going to take it out and fit a new cartridge might as well fit a recon complete one.
I'm after info...
My VIN is

WDD212025A069730

2010 E350 CDI Blue Efficiency 231bhp version.

Id like conformation that my turbo part number is A 642 090 86 80....Im pretty sure it is. Looking for a recon one at a sensible price. Any preferred recommendations from the hundreds online?
Thanks in advance.

Your nearest MB specialist down there may recommend a local company as well ?

That's what I thought..... nice to have it confirmed though. Cheers

May be cheaper to have your own turbo reconditioned. I used this place when I had my Sierra Cosworth for work done and can recommend them.
Not that far from Bognor either.

Sorry to hear this. Being handy with the spanners should hopefully mean that the bill isn’t as bad as it might be. Wishing you the best getting it sorted.

Ouch...recons are starting at sub £300....

 

[ALFAitalia]

Having looked into it, it seems an OK job... just a bit tight on access. Should be OK as long as none of the manifold bolts shear.

 

[ALFAitalia]

Anyone on here dealt with ACP Turbochargers? Prices seem ok for as fully rebuilt original turbo......

Ideal donor car , if the ads true.

Reman Garrett on the way. Should be here tomorrow.....hopefully I will get it fitted Friday.... but I have a lot on so hopefully at least should get the old one out.

LOL....I'll do a few pics. Cant see the point of a video....loads on YT.

Quick question for someone that's done it.....does the exhaust gas temp probe (mounted in the base rear of the turbo) come out most times?....seen a few videos where they struggled or sheared it off or had to use heat. Just wondering if its best to get one on order. That said I doubt I'll have time to do much more than remove it this week....so Ill wait and see. Prob going to fit a new PCV breather though....mine looks a bit oily.

If you are changing the pcv , change this breather part as well buddy .

Om642 metal breather cap replacement

Bought one of these the other day because a couple of people mentioned they are worth replacing . My car has 114k now so for sub £30 I treated her . I removed the 3 bolts for the pcv itself first and pushed it out the way then two bolts to remove on the new metal breather part and gently...
