Hi
I have a CLS 320 2008, I had a problem since purchasing the vehicle 5 years ago, where it would occasionally "kangaroo" when accelerating hard, I have cured that fault by repairing the Turbo Actuator, (I did fit a new "Ebay" actuator whilst the original was being repaired but still had the same loss of power even with the new one installed) this has also cured to a point my loss of power, BUT I still get loss of power when climbing long inclines, I lose boost pressure and cannot regain it until I turn the engine off and restart it, then all is fine until the next time.
I recently travelled to Bristol Airport and left the car for 6 weeks whilst on holiday and on our return the inevitable battery was flat, Bristol Silverzone very kindly jump started it and everything was OK until we started climbing the notorious Telegraph Hill, Exeter, as we started to climb I felt loss of power and we had to "limp" home without the turbo, as I didn't want to risk not being able to restart it due to the flat battery at Bristol. After returning home and restarting it, all was fine again, but I'm sure it will happen again sometime.
I would be interested to know if anyone has had this fault and how they managed to fix it.
Many thanks
Derek
