Bad Turbo?
I'm the not so happy owner of a 350 CDI - OM642 BT.
The car has among a lot of issues, properly a bad turbocharger.
Car starts without any issues, but then it reaches normally temperature, I'm having shuttering between ≈ 700-1800 RPM, over 1800 RPM no issues and car has a lot of power.
Milage 365.000 km, fully serviced by Mercedes, no CEL and error codes.
As what I can read about this behaviour, it seems to be a turbo, acuator problem.
What do the experts say ?
