[diesel_mercedes] Wastegate Service

 



Thank you Alan ! .

That's a good idea .

Yes, the diaphragm is leaking so I don't see any point in external cleaning, I'm going to have to open 'er up and see what's what .

This may not be possible this week though .

Are you sure the diaphragm is leaking?  I had what appeared to be that problem.  It may be that the diaphragm is stuck open.  I set my air compressor at 10 psi and injected some ether into the waste gate hose and pulsed it with the air compressor.  After a few cycles, I could hear the diaphragm cycling.  I used ether because there is only a small drain hole on the front side of the  diaphragm and I didn't want to load it up with a penetrant that  might not drain out.  At least a good wet shot of ether will
disolvee crud and then evaporate.
