This is my first post and this is my first MB. It’s an E320cdi face lift on a 57 plate and I have had it for 6 months (I have to say its awesome)
It has done 115,000miles and came with a full main dealer service history.
Unfortunately it has started to suffer with the (common from reading this forum) occasional intermittent problem of jumpy acceleration followed by limp home mode. (Stopping/ taking the key out and immediately putting it back in completely cures it) there are no warning lights on the dash.
I had it hooked up to star at an Indy and the fault codes seemed to confirm this (They did try replacing a sensor which made no difference)
I have read lots of post about it saying it’s not a fault with the turbo itself but the actuator electronics, however, as they come as one part (turbo and actuator) the only cure is a complete new turbo.
However there are people who rebuild the actuator electronics (rebuild your own for £70)-

Has any one tried this and does anyone know the success rate?
