[diesel_mercedes] Re: Road trip w/ rebuilt turbo

How many miles were on your turbo?

Since there's no boost gauge on these things (like my Saab 99 :^) - is there any easy way to measure/determine how functional/useful my turbo is? Over the last 3 mos, I've started to hear a turbo whine on spool up when I don't recall hearing that when we first put it back on the road. Sylvia is still dog slow from 0-30 until she gets going, but has all the power (I think) it should have otherwise? Wondering how to assess the current state of affairs...

thx,

-Barton

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Charging Lamp

 

Maybe check the bulb? You may want to have a Mercedes shop check out your system. Costs, but they might see something that they’ve seen before.  Bill in Oregon

No, the light has never come on since I've had it.  There's always been something wrong with the charging system and I found out there was a late model VR without the "L" leg installed.  Got a Bosch with the "L" leg and it's been charging the battery since I put it in.
