Be interesting to make a comparison at the next GTG - my '09 280 should have the modified manifold I presume, but I've never noticed any turbo whistle.

You got it on the 220cdi, its like that now.
I suspect all is not quite 100% well, but IIRC there was a place someone sent a knackered turbo off to and they got it fixed. Guy with a CLK320cdi
I'll take the manifolds along to show folk the mechanism and how it all works.

Don't know if it is of any concern but I can hear my turbo when booted, not loud but you can hear it working.
Not nice lol.
I wrote to MBHO about the auto shut off motor stating it must be an inherent fault with this motor as it seems a common failing and my experiences are disgusting. I now have a letter stating the maximum cost to ms for this or any related fault will have a maximum cost of 10%.
So can anyone beat being on their 4th auto shut off motor? Steve you're catching up.
Hi,
id be very interested to see that letter as i'm having similar problems and it would be great to know MBHQ were gonna pick up the tab.
Dont suppose you could email me a copy by any chance please?
Thanks in anticipation

Hello everyone, new here. Joined the group because I thought you may be able to help with my current situation regarding the C320 CDI 08 i bought two years ago. The car is the one in my DP.
So long story short, i picked it up as a bargain (big mistake). I have forked out probably 2.5k on doing it up since and now finally I'm at tethers end. The car is juddering when I am going through the gears. So from 1 to 2 it's juddering until i press the paddle shift. This happens with the following gears too.
Problem started when the car went in to limp mode and engine light got the following codes P2009 P0489 P0245 B2AA. The car was seen and the mechanic said there had been a blown fuse, and that the import shut off motor needed replacing. Whilst doing this they noticed that the manifolds arms were missing (yes missing) i don't know how, i don't know who but yes they're saying it's not there and to replace they would need to buy the right and left arms and then it's a 7 hour job + vat. Looking at £1.3k!...so here I am pulling my hairs out thinking there must be another way?
I few spoke to two other locals ones a specialist and one is not. The specialist said he could do the job for 1k inclusive of vat. The local non-specialist has said to do a stage 1 remap, to tell the car that the manifold arms are not there. This would cost £300 to do.
Can anyone shed light on the pro's and cons of this? I bought the car for the long term and because I've invested in it so heavily, i don't want to give it up. So any advice would be helpful. If you know any good mechanics in Manchester that can do this job cheaper than my current quotes that would be appreciated too.
I'm hoping to rely on your lots experience and know how. Hopefully I'll be here a long time!
Thanks!
