Kent is great. He has shared knowledge and supported these diesels like few others have.

Hey man, thanks for the update. Was beginning to wonder what happened to the wagon. Amazed that you’re tackling the turbo rebuild yourself as I wouldn’t have a clue, instructions or not. I doff my cap to your superior technical skills sir! If I may make a suggestion, if the turbo on the wagon is healthy may I suggest that you swap the turbo from the wagon onto the sedan? Should keep your daily driver on the road and this will give you the luxury of time to rebuild the turbo without the ticking clock. Might even give you more time to enjoy some more leisure time on your week off. It’s just a suggestion as I know from experience that when you rush something you’re more likely to cut corners or make a mistake and could end up costing you more time and money in the long run. That’s just my human experience and in no way is a reflection of your work ethic. From what I know with turbos is that any problem with them usually ends up in a catastrophic mess and big bills. Another great video, keep ‘em coming.

@CrashCourse can you hear the turbo now? if so post a video of it.

I think it's awesome that you're repairing your cars the right way. In your case, removing the entire turbo was definitely the right move. I love hearing your real experiences from Mercedessource because it gives us other subscribers levels of expectations that are realistic. Your really doing a quality job cleaning everything while the parts are disassembled. Love the video and update.

Keep the video coming man! Just got a w123 myself and it’s gonna need some work. Your videos have helped!
