Turbo failure
Hi everyone,
I need help as my turbo "died". My car (W461, 290 gdt, mod '99) after an engine overhaul, started to "smoke" and to consume a lot of oil. The mechanic found that there was a problem with the turbo. I went to a turbo specialist who told me that the turbo needs change, does not worth to rebuild it. Except the Garrett for G, is any other alternative solution (I mean cheaper :oops: )?
What is the exact Garrett model that fits in my car (T2/??)? Is it the same with the Sprinter 2.9 turbo?
Any help is welcomed.
Regards Angelos
Hi if the case/body is damaged then a replacement unit is required. turbo specialists in the UK/USA will rebuild or offer "over the counter" exchange(GBP 400/600) if the carcass is within limits.the engine serial number will identify which model turbo was and should be fitted.run it passed MB technical for advice.....is your engine model OM602 DE29 LA??
