CDI and compressor engines

[slav4o1]

guys i got really confused,
someone told me MB dont produce engine with turbos anymore they use supercharges..so the ones that says compressor at the back are the petrol ones and have a supercharger? so the CDI (compressor diesel intercooler) again uses axial flow compressor right insread of turbo?!

No. CDi stands for Common Direct injection, basically diesel with common rail technology. The charging is via turbo.

Petrol engines as you say are fitted with a "Kompressor" AKA a Supercharger.
The diesels have got a Turbocharger fitted.
