C270 CDI Power Loss
Hi there.
I hope there is someone out there that can help me.
One of my vechiles is a C270 CDI and it is mostly driven by my father.
I recently noticed a compression leak past no 3 injector and sent it to the Local Mercedes Agents to replace all the injectors seals. They also replaced 3 faulty Glow Plugs.
The vehicle is now noticably slower, to the extend where it will not even reach 190km/h.
I sent it back to them for checking and they quoted on replacing the Inlet Manifold, the Servo motor for the swirl flaps and the Pneumatic Actuator for the turbo, based on a low boost pressure fault code.
I subsequently replaced the manifold and not the other 2 items. The Servo Motor works fine and you can clearly hear the boost build again, The old manifold was badly worn at the swirl flaps, which led to the loss of boost.
I have also noticed that the vehicle now changes at just over 4000 rpm under full throttle (in S mode), and not at 4500 rpm like before. Previously there was a a fair amount of diesel smoke, and now nothing.
Is there parhaps anyone who have some advise
