Where can I find the turbo hose and read the Q number? My GL 320 was built in the last week of May and I picked it up 6/09/. So far, so good.

The way that I did it... The part number was listed on the bottom front side of the hose where it connects to the front of the engine off of the turbo...
Look for a metal pipe about 2.5 inches in diameter which comes out of the middle of the "V" of the engine where the turbocharger sits, and bends 90 degrees toward the driver's side. The rubber hose connects to the metal pipe and goes from the end of the metal pipe over to the intercooler which sits parallel to the radiator. The part number is located on the lower front side of the rubber hose where it attaches to the metal pipe from the turbocharger.
I just reached down with a mirror to see the underside of the rubber hose and held a mirror just under the rubber hose to view the part number. The very last line of the part number had a "Q3" on it.
Be sure and let the vehicle cool down properly before attempting this as you will need to get your arm down between some of the coolant hoses and the fan shroud to get the mirror in position.
I hope this was descriptive enough... Good luck!

By the way, from my description, how easy was it for you to find?
Your previous suggestions were very helpful. It was right were you said it was. The engine does not appear user friendly as most of the components are hidden.
