Turbo shaft play OM642 opinion
What a PITA day servicing my GL350.
engine air filters
both sets of cabin air filters
fuel filter (engineer should be shot on this one)
oil & filter
transfer case fluid
Turbo shaft is starting to get a little play in it. Compressor side isn’t hitting the housing however there is a little up & down play and a tad of in & out play. What do y’all think about that?
Can’t get the video to upload…..

Years ago I rebuild turbo on OM642 as I was replacing the block and it was convenient to do at 180k miles.
Rebuild kit was about $40 so not a big deal in whole job
Still after putting new bushing and new end plate the turbo had some play. I did not have micrometer to check the exact measurements, but it look to me that some play is normal thing.
Get micrometer and WIS if you really want to get to the bottom of the issue

Was doing that like 5 years ago, so don't remember the details, but there was nothing to press.
Point is that at 180k miles the turbo was stil good and the rebuild kit did not change much.
