Hello MB gurus!
I have a 2011, W212 (S212) E350Cdi estate.
Has an issue, worse when cold, but still does it when warm.
I can accelerate and there will be no power, and then all off a sudden a small poof black smoke, and it's like i have been flung into maximum warp
So my car has been in a local garage, and they replaced the turbo actuator, as the one that was on there from the previous owner as an eBay special, and also replaced the metal intake pipe to the turbo and new seal.
Looks like the previous owner has also replaced the actuator (wiht the eBay one) and replaced the EGR valve.
The turbo seals are new too.
I have borrowed a Xentry diag machine, and no current or stored faults show.
It looks like someone has been in previous too, reset the values on the DPF to try and force regen, as all values for Ash/soot are zero.
I went in to the boost sensor and carried out a test on it, at idle was ok ( i think) but when actuated, the values go red. But then this is intermittent.
Also same kind if thing with the exhaust back pressure sensor, when engine off or idle, it shows 4786hPa in red, and then once the car was up to optimal running temps, and when driving, it showed 1526hPa, which this figure was within the parameters.
Attached a few pics below.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated, as when it's running, damn she's smooth as ever.
