Hi All,
My 08 CLS 320 CDI (OM642) seems to have started smoking fairly heavily over the past couple of weeks, its done 123k miles, has full service history and had a refurb turbo fitted in Feb.
The MOT guy said it would struggle to get through an MOT in its current state.
It smokes when rev'd from idle and if I hold at 1500 for 5-10 secs and then rev it can deploy a good smoke screen. Mostly the smoke is black.
The car was fully serviced in feb - oil, filters etc inc fuel filter and glowplugs.
Any help on what the issue could be would be appreciated.
So far i've;
1. Checked the EGR - fully functional, seemed pretty clean. Cleaned the pipe that goes into the inlet.
2. (TO DO) Fit new cam breather value that plumbs into the intake.
3.... Advice please?
Thanks
