ML 320 OM642 Surge HELP!!!

Hello everyone.
I have an issue with my 2009 ML320 OM642.
142k miles,
EGR, DPF, Intake Flaps etc etc... all that was deleted 2 years ago.


The issue is that it has a surging problem under load. I don't really know how to describe the problem in words. (i could reproduce the sound with my mouth ) but the engine basically does not increase the RPMs smoothly; instead, it has a blitz of power and a blitz of no power(it almost feels like the turbo actuator moves up and down up and down for as long as I accelerate. This can be felt through the whole car, It can be heard from the engine and it can be slightly seen on the rpm gauge. I will post videos and pictures of the numbers and graphs I get on my scan tools. Please help me because I am desperate already... I have no idea where to check anymore. Any opinion will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Those black private videos only bring us to youtube with no info to your problem.

You must check for codes in all modules with Xentry.

Hopefully you are using a scanner, but what codes have you found in all modules? When you post them you must indicate which module they were stored in.

Because the CEL is not illuminated does not mean you do not have codes stored in multiple modules.

Ok, once again, when scanning the car with star or other scanners, I have no codes stored at all.
