New OM642 Turbo actuators on eBay

[DSM10000]

I had a problem with the E Class yesterday where it would not rev past 2k and with much reduced performance. I used my Torque app to read a P2510 Code (Boost pressure regulator), switching the car off and on cleared the problem although the code remained, Torque was unable to clear it.

This pm I called in to my Independent who use his Xentry system to confirm the code. Nothing else showed up and the code was cleared. Hopefully it was a one off but if it recurs then the suggestion was to strip and lubricate the mechanism and if that failed then to replace the actuator.

Looking on-line I found several places offering to rebuild your own unit or supply rebuilt units at around £165 plus VAT but also found this on eBay: For Mercedes C,E,M,R,S,CLK 320 CDI OM642 Turbo Electric Actuator 730314 G-88 | eBay.

Whilst it seems good value the seller has a high rating so this may prove useful for someone!

From reading these do not need coding but may need calibrating?

Hi David,

Apparently the best bet is to get your existing unit sent off for rebuild. There’s a place previously recommended on the forum in Carlisle who can do it for £100 inc return postage and VAT. Using original quality Garrett parts.

I did contact him for the quotation but used a local company instead.

His email is [email protected] and his name is Alf.

I had the same issue as you. Got a Rebuilt original unit for £120.
