they measure the "play" in the turbo shaft. if it is .08 or higher they replace it.
mine also was .03
----
for the guy that went from .089 to .11 - how do you know this ? did they let you drive the car after they tested it and it came back over .08?
a few people on here ive read they hold your car until they can replace it....
did your turbo blow at .11 ?
mine also was .03

Had brought mine in for the turbo service campaign also. I wasn't experiencing any problems but thought i'd get it taken care of before i did. Parts took approx. 2 weeks. Got the car back last week and everything seems fine. Seems to fun a bit better even. Crossing my fingers this was the only problem that arises.
Have yet to experience any major problems. As stated before, car was running excellent before i brought it in. Just a preventive measure.

I just took mine in for 4 campaigns last Tuesday, and they measure my turbo has 0.99mm, spec is 0.08mm. they hold my car till Friday night, so i pick it up Friday night, and drove home, the car feel little different than before, and the exhaust sound little different too. but when i saw my turbo spec. , i am like 0.99mm!!! WOW. But it drive good before, and no problem at all, no noise or anything, the car only has about 6800km on it right now. so all campaigns are done, i will drive some more to see.

My daughter's car had a recall two weeks ago, and had couple of turbo parts replaced but I did not have the detail, mine is the July delivery and have not heard anything yet.

Hey everyone.
New guy here with an A45 AMG. I recently finished my break in for the car. all seems ok except an annoying noise i have been hearing since I have the car.
Those of you who have been through the turbo recall, or even those who have not, is it normal that there is a constant whining noise coming from the engine bay even at idle?
Thanks in advance for your help. Dealer told me it was normal but for me it seems wrong.

thanks for your reply. Ok will call them again today an insiste on the issue. First time around they clearly stated everything was fine and that they noticed nothing wrong regarding the whining noise.

Interesting reading all, FYI, I have an A45 AMG, delivered fresh, made to order in May this year. Smooth run-in, no race start until around 5000 km, done only 3-4 race starts in all. Just passed 13.000 km and the turbo failed. Finish. Now waiting for a replacement but around 30 days waiting time. Not what I would expect of an AMG car and not what I would expect in terms of spares availability. I certainly hope they will find the root-cause.

It was supposedly limited to before Feb 2014 builds but it appears there have been a few blown turbos outside of that range now a days.
I wouldn't worry about it too much...just enjoy your new beast!

Awesome Turbo change
mine is 5000 km and Mercedes is Sao Paulo already order my new turbo for free but mine never had any trouble but i heard the problem can occur in the future and i heard the new turbo goes more 35 hp original!!!

Car back in again!
Mercedes have issued a second recall for turbo check. What is going wrong this time. Mine is in tomorrow so we will see what happens. Rang service centre but very reluctant to discuss the issue. Just say they are keeping check on matters. Disappointing really.

I have a problem with my turbo !
I took my A45 for service A at 15,000 KM , After the service the service adviser told me that your car has a problem with the turbo and we ordered a turbo from Germany for your car and should be here by two weeks , I asked him how did it get damaged , he said Maunfactuer fault , That's all , now I'm waiting for the new turbo to arrive and I'm watching the steep decrease in performance in my car and I started to dislike the car .

I went to upgrade my turbo and the exhaust turbine was damaged. My car was still drive-able and didn't realize any changes to functionality of vehicle. Something went through the exhaust of my car into the engine.. weird. My car is sitting at 92k miles right now. turbo was replaced with weistec w.4 system the precision .60 rv turbo with custom exhaust manifold. Aesthetically appealing to the eye.
