Mercedes Benz 3.0 V6 CDi Diesel OM642 Not boosting? Limp mode? Common Problems C, E, S, CLS 320 350

[@Peter-it5ht]

Great video ,I am sitting in a carpark down in southern Spain after driving down here ,I have issues with loss of power on hills hopefully the car will get me back to the UK in a few weeks, and I will be having a look at the turbo actuator . The video was very informative and not at all boring.

[@enginium6043]

I'm glad it was informative. I really hope you have a safe and uneventful trip back and you can then get it looked at. The turbo actuator can make the car go into limp mode but a restart will fix it but as it deteriorates you will have the problem more frequently and turning the car on and off won't fix it anymore.

[@husejini2963]

Did you fix it have the same problem uphills it will go in safe mode.

[@pgVeritas]

I had the limp mode in my 2014 CLS Shooting Brake 250D. I was limited to nothing over 2500rpm, but all gears worked. There was only Economy and Sport mode enabled with no Manual, though the shifters worked ok. I found the best way to get onto roundabouts/busy junctions without soiling underwear was to keep it in sport mode. I took it to a great local garage (M&A Autos, Corby) who cleared the. OBD code, and test drove it 3 times, which initially sorted the problem. However, the fault returned the next day. It was a split intercooler pipe, which they did all in for £120. I service my car at Mercedes to keep the history up, but Mick at M&A does the wearable maintenance and problem solving. Let him know Peter sent you. Great guy, honest and efficient.

[@enginium6043]

Glad to hear you got it sorted. It's good to see there are still good garages out there.

[@pgVeritas]

@@enginium6043 Thanks for the thorough explanation. It’s one of the most worrying warning lights ever!

[@neilhampson2843]

I have owned a E320cdi for the last 10 years,and every thing you mentioned on this video bar the MAF sensors has been an issue. Great car when all is well, I am on my third turbo actuator,but as you say it came with a lifetime warranty and it never been an issue getting it repaired. I read somewhere that it;s the high under bonnet temperature that kills the actuator. I wish I had seen this years ago it could have saved a lot of head scratching.

[@enginium6043]

Yes it think because they put the turbo in the Vee to reduce lag etc but they didn't seem to uprate or cool any of the electronics. A big problem is cars being misdiagnosed with faulty turbos or people chucking parts at them as it gets really expensive really quick.

[@joshuapage7358]

I have a 2008 ml320cdi that just wouldnt stop going into limp mode for low boost pressure. When I bought it I knew it had a bad turbo which was confirmed during rebuild. Soot buildup was stopping the turbo from making full boost. During the rebuild process I bought a chinese aftermarket actuator figuring it would be prudent to replace it (Was trying to save a little money so I went with the chinese model which weirdly enough had good reviews). Also re-sealed all pipes going from the turbo to the intake. Rebuild went great but now getting low boost pressure with different symptoms. When cold it runs better than ever, once I hit about 30 miiles of driving the turbo feels laggy and doesnt seem to want to get much boost then goes into limp mode sometimes with, sometimes without a cel. Hooked my MB2 scanner up, all sensors working, when under load cold it gets 29 to 30 pounds of boost. Everything seems up to order. I went a step forward and installed a go pro and light under the hood to watch the acutator as it just seemed like it wasent opening at times. There it was, cheap chinese actuator wasen't opening when it got hot or was barely opening. You hit the nail on the head when you explained it. Interesting that if the actuator is working until hot it wont throw the code specific for the actuator so this problem was a little harder to diagnose. Just threw the old low boost pressue code and nothing else. Sometimes trying to save a couple dollars doesn't pan out. I actually went APA/URO on the actuator this time as I have had great luck with them and they are matched specific to the class Mercedes you need it for.

Very good video. My car is a S350 and after taking it to the dealer to do emmition recall it started giving me a whole lot of problems I ended up fixing it myself by doing the checkups that you suggest.

[@isakisak7310]

Very informative video thank you for sharing. Used it to find and repair my ml320 cdi 2006 booster issue where car kept jerking on heavy load and going into limp mode. Now car drives like new with lots of power thrust. Garage couldn’t find the issue and quoted silly money. Ended up replacing part myself after seeing your video and saved myself a fortune. I love driving my car again! Thank you .👍

Well done perfect video ! I have lots of issues with mine just bought it second hand and I’m facing some of the same issues you have pointed out . Loss of power, blue smoke but power back, no power at all during drives and then all back on ... want to fix it and this video points exactly the problems of ‘‘tis model . I thought Mercedes builds the best engines .

[@mrthecodguy]

I had the same problems u have exept for the blue smoke, i drive a 2011 vito 122cdi. Turned out to be a clogged egr valve. Since the shop i went to was very busy and coulenr help me right away the mechanic said he would reset the code in the computer and it might go away, he recommended to go on a long drive right away and it might fix itself. We're 3 months ahead now and the problem has not returned (yet).

[@planespeaking]

The PCV will cause issues as well and O2 sensor. They will impact everything like swirl flaps etc. due to gumming up. Also check egr valve and pipe at front next to throttle body and clean carbon build up.

[@enginium6043]

Good tips 👍

[@stephenrowlands843]

I agree with everything you've said! Useful vid. Always worth testing the maf sensors with a voltmeter before throwing money away on a new one.

@@enginium6043 My om642 has a 0105-01 code, its for a boost pressure sensor (voltage too high) I have a new used turbo, i want to do the oil cooler gaskets aswell

[@em4703]

@@enginium6043 A very important maintenance item on this engine that can be the root of ALOT of problems is the PCV valve. Replacing it every 50-70k km will save your intake, cat and dpf from alot of troubles. For example, once it starts leaking oil, it will trap the egr soot on the surface of anything inside the intake, killing your twirl flaps and seriously constricting airflow.

[@johnfleming7559]

Great video. I was getting the engine management light on, losing boost, so I bought a cheap code reader, and it came up saying i needed a new turbo, £2,300 i was quoted. Took the plunge, paid an independent garage to put it on the fancier diagnostic tool, and it was the actuator. Not a mechanic, but a socket set was all i needed and fitted it myself in under and hour, fiddly but doable. Immediately the light went out, boost returned and i was quite happy. The carbon build up on my exhausts is quite severe, so i think the next investment for me is an EGR valve. I've a 2008 320 CLS CDI.

[@frankbailey7337]

How many miles on it?

[@buildrepaircomplain5761]

Thanks so much!! Step 1: get OBD diagnostic tool. Step 2: come back to this video.

[@enginium6043]

An obd2 reader does help for sure. But sometime it can be easier to get it read on the star machine. But an obd reader at least gives you a good place to start. You see it a lot online. My car is broken what's wrong with it? Have you read the codes? No. Lol it's very difficult to help someone if there is no place to start.

[@duerhl]

Thank you for the video, I am struggling with my car similar engine 6429, W211 2009 E320 CDI. I have to drive it slowly and smoothly, otherwise it sort of like halts and jumps intermittently. The diagnostic test pointed to the Turbo Actuator, which we then replaced but it got worse after that, and now it doesn't even throw any codes, the test comes out clean. Sometimes it does this halting and skipping when it's time to change to the next gear. And sometimes when coming to a stop you can feel that cutting off power abruptly as if you pressed the brakes hard. Just for more info, there is been an oil leak by that Airflow Meter and Turbo. Just as you said, I also don't want to just throw money at it aimlessly.

[@enginium6043]

Did you replace the turbo actuator with a refurbished one or a Chinese one as the Chinese ones can give problems. Are you using the OBD2 or star to get the codes? Does it go in limp mode?

[@duerhl]

@@enginium6043 The Merc specialist replaced it with a refurbed one, not Chineese just to test and see. As for the tester, I have to check which one, but its the big one that plugs into a laptop and it shows the pic of the part and the part number if it finds a fault. They were suspecting a turbo fault afterwards, but I dont wanna throw money aimlessly coz the turbo is expensive. I am planning to but an Airflow Sensor Cleaner also.

[@duerhl]

Oh and the other thing, it actually doesn't go into limp mode.

[@enginium6043]

That's a tough one. It sounds like they are using star especially if it's a mercedes specialist. Before you clean the mafs try unplugging them and drive around like that. Also have you had your inlet swirl flaps motor checked?

[@duerhl]

@@enginium6043 Thanks, no, they didn't check the inlet swirl flap motor.

[@AsimEden]

Excellent Video! One other thing beware of on the 642.850 engines, Oil Cooler which is situated at the bottom of the "V" has seals that leak and eventually fills up the V. So if looking at one to buy check any leaks that are coming from the middle rear of the engine. Mercedes have revised these seals but its a 12 hour labour cost to do this job, Ouch!

[@enginium6043]

Great point! Its a big job, not necessarily hard but a big one!

[@twiliteblue6053]

Hi, I have recently joined the same club by experiencing a very similar problem! My ML has low power, although it does rev beyond 3000rpm during kickdown. The MAP reading peaks at about 120kPa (0.2bar induction?) and MAF is about 110g/second combined @ 3300rpm (evenly split between left and right). There appears to be an EGR valve fault P0405, detailed diagnosis reported that the EGR position sensor is out of spec. Disconnecting the EGR did not change anything, and the engine did not react when manually forcing the EGR to fully open (I thought it should misfire?) The EGR valve and pipes look fairly clean, including the little nook near the throttle body at the front. I replaced the valve with an aftermarket one which didn't seem to work at all. So I'm hoping the new genuine one that's coming will fix the problem (or it's a lot of money down the drain...) Did anyone have a similar problem? Could there be a different culprit than the EGR? Additionally, the oxygen/lambda sensor seems to behave strangely. Although there is a built-in heater, the circuit never turns on. The lambda sensor voltage does not show until 5 minutes from startup, and ranges from 0.1V at full throttle, to 0.9V at idle. I thought it's suppose to hover around 0.45V! While it's been a fun learning experience, I'm at my wits' end. Any help is much appreciated.

[@twiliteblue6053]

Fixed! Turned out the EGR was the main problem. Now the boost is back to normal (200kPa = 1 bar boost) I guess the lambda sensor is fine? It still swings from 0.1V (accelerating hard) to 1.2V (at idle), but usually averages 0.5V when driving now

[@enginium6043]

Sorry I'm just getting time to respond now. That's awesome you have fixed it. Is your car running correctly, does it smell like it's overfueling, black smoke under acceleration or poor fuel consumption?

[@alinwithther6]

Hi mate, your video is very informative and is not boring at all, in fact i've watched twice, I hope you may know the answer, i have a 2015 ( 64) CLS 350 cdi bluetec and just had a service done, driving perfectly before, the mechanic manage somehow to break a return fuel line while he was replacing the fuel filter, got this replaced and put everything back as it was, engine is running as before on idle and no warning lights on the dash, however, after 3 or 4 miles there is no boost, put the foot down and nothing, try to paddle shift, nothing... no warning lights and no faults found via diagnostics... i really don't know where to start, i wish now i didn't had the service done.

[@jvdm9317]

Hi, thank you for an informative video. My ML350 CDi starts and then dies. Have you ever come across this problem? It runs for 1-3 seconds and then dies. It has new low and high pressure pumps, new fuel rail pressure sensor, new fuel rail pressure regulating valve, new fuel filter, 6 new injectors, new fuel pump relay, new cam shaft sensor, turbo refurbished. Because of the struggling I now have to replace the battery. Day 1 after coming from workshop it starts easily, day two it starts and runs but shudders a bit and then runs perfectly. The next day it starts for 1 second and dies. So basically every morning on first start. Then its dead.

[@claudiocosterni6488]

I stopped halfway through your video and wrote this. I have 3 of these... wonderful Mercedes engines, installed in the engine bays of three Jeep Grand Cherokee WKs. There are some differences in some external elements, but basically the OM642 engine is the same. For a few weeks one of these Jeeps of mine has been experimenting with Limb mode. Some call it "Limb Home" mode, not just Limb. Which is the correct one? I have purchased various spare parts that my mechanic will have to replace. There is an obvious oil leak which appears to be mainly caused by the smaller orange seal near the turbo on the T-joint of the flexible Air Cleaner To Turbo Hose [53013672AE], and by the nearby CCV/PCV, the oil separator/crankcase black valve. I wonder if in addition to these parts and the underlying external components to be replaced relating to the two intake manifolds [actuator motor, joints and arms], it is appropriate to go even deeper and also replace the 2 oil cooler gaskets [which I have already purchased, included in a repair kit supplied by IDParts]. But since we cannot see it from the outside, we cannot know what state it is in. In any case, it will be a long, complex and exhausting task, I understand this well, and consequently also very expensive as workforce. Can you give me some suggestion?

[@enginium6043]

Limp mode is short for limp home mode but either is valid. Ok it's good you have noticed the leak at the top. The arms etc are for the swirl flaps, usually the dripping oil from where your car is leaking breaks that motor. So people just leave them open and use the resistor trick. The oil cooler will need done at some point depending on the year of production. It also depends how long you want to keep the cars, how much you are willing to spend and if you are doing it yourself or not. Its quite a big job, good chance to clean and sort everything but it's close to 10hours labour so I've heard.

[@MyScotty7]

Hi just subscribed,ive got a merc cls 60 plate with fault code p2510-1, its the actuator on the turbo you mentioned,if i buy a new one is it a straight swap or does it need calibrated to turbo? Ive also heard the wires inside can snap which can be soldered?

[@enginium6043]

Hi, If it is the actuator, you can remove it using 3 bolts (I think) and uncliping the arm. If you take off the cover you will be able to see if the wires have broken away from the solder pads. They can be resoldered. Sometimes the worm gear is broken and other times the electrics somewhere fail in them. If you are getting another actuator I'd recommend getting a refurbished one. The knock off ones don't work properly apparently and if you get it refurbed it will be the right one for your car and power output. Also don't forget to buy a circlip to fit the actuator arm.

You can buy any old cheap scanner. I've been using these cheap elm scanners from eBay or Amazon they are light blue see through plastic. They are under £5 but if you have an android and use torque and such apps it's very handy. I'm sure there are wifi versions for apple if that's your thing. The apps on your phone do a great job of reading codes, clearing codes and even data logging. Plus I leave them plugged in all the time so if a code comes up or I want to see coolant temp or whatever I can as who doesn't carry their phone with them.

Is it just loss of boost or does it jerk and kangaroo when accelerating. Is the boost loss interment or as soon as you start the car. It could be a lot of things, without seeing it or have the codes read it would be very difficult to diagnose. If you start the car and put your hand round areas or look for signs of leaks or blows would be your first thing to look for. Then I'd get the codes read and go from there.

Good job, nice info

[@crowmanfps]

Thanks for the video. I have an issue with the car going into a limp mode and only changing gear at just under 3000 rpm. It is throwing P0471 and P1593(00) error codes. The exhaust back pressure sensor was replaced a year ago due to the same symptoms. I am getting avg 3-4 PSI at idle and then increases to 9-10 at constant speeds and increases up to 25-40 psi when accelerating. Some of the MAF orange seals had splits so have replaced all of 4 of them. I've noticed that the MAF readings show one of the sensors showing 1/3rd less air flow past it. I have also run CATACLEAN through the system. Switching the car off and on again can clear the fault and I can drive 100 miles without issue. Then start the car after a very short journey the code pops up and car goes limp. Any recommendations?

@@crowmanfps yes I have the same symptoms. It helped me for a good while just changing air filters and cleaning gaskets because I was noticing oil at the inlet for the turbo but the symptoms came back. I’m suspecting the pcv probably needs to be changed as I’ve seen that when the selector goes bad it lets in a lot of that oil which causes a lot of problems. Please update immediately curious what Mercedes has to say.

It turned out to be the exhaust back pressure sensor again. Irregular voltage. As the part was only a year old I asked Mercedes for refund which they refused because it was not diagnosed by them. Livid.

BECAUSE MY ACUATOR SEEMS TO BE WORKIN COMPLEATLY OPPOSITE WAY THEN OTHERS. will remove it tomorrow and inspect more thoroughly,taking in account circumstances when i lost turbo by pulling off in fully loaded van up to 4k rpm to merge on motorway. P.S checked actuator connector,pernament positive 12v, ground good,signal vire 3.5v. what about egr,could stuck open egr cause this? like in this video where egr is removed i noticed that turbo actuator is up and never moved : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHyYhY1sf955eck Many thanks Igors

[@enginium6043]

Hi Igors, It's a possibility the worm drive and gears have worn or slipped. A stuck egr can cause bad running also. If you are able to check it's not clogged up and is functioning properly that would at least show that it's not the egr. Also there is another user Stephen he has a problem with his throttle body. Maybe check that too? In regards to the actuator I would imagine if it's not the gears and drive it is probably moving the opposite way so it's keeping the wastegate open not to product boost as something else is wrong in the car telling it to go into limp mode. But still worth checking out.

[@enginium6043]

Hi Igors, Ok so your actuator looks ok, your worm drive and gear looks in decent condition (although that doesn't mean its ok) but it does look ok. Also on the pcb there is little wires going to solder pads on the sides. They can deteriorate and go loose over time but usually that starts with loosing boost when hot/warm. But they look ok from the pictures. This is a tough one, I'd personally start with the EGR. Usually if it is the MAF disconnecting it will sometimes make it run in closed loop. MAF's do go wrong in these cars but it's not super common, whereas the EGR is a fairly common problem. Does your scan tool show the throttle position value?

Have disconnected battery and allow ecu capacitors to drain to reset ecu Supply from ecu to above electrical components all correct at either 12v or 5 volt where required. All this and I have the same problem still! #Odd thing though, the charge air temp sensor I fitted was a generic one which was meant to be suitable for this car but it gave another code for it. After fitting it the P0402 went (well briefly at least). I put the old original temp sensor back in and the temp sensor code went but the P0402 returned. I am currently waiting for a MB Temp A6511530028 sensor. The pressure control valve pins (two pins) (the sensor on the breather pipe that connects to the turbo inlet) have direct continuity between them. So the voltage is the same for both of them when connected 12v. Should this be so? Seems odd to me. The plug itself, when disconnected, has one terminal at 12v and the other at 3.5v. Any thoughts on this? One thing I need clarity on though is the talk of clearing the ECU / or ensuring "adaptaion" of the new parts. I might have thought that disconnecting the battery and discharging the ECU might have the same effect, but I could be wrong. Perhaps the ECU is still "seeing" the original fault? Your views would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi Stephen, That's a lot to get into. I don't currently have my mercedes anymore but I'll try to assist. So reading through what you have done, you know your stuff! You have checked for leaks, used a proper code reader, replaced all faulty sensors. Your reader even has live logging and you are saying all the pressures etc are correct. That's a tough one. You have checked everything I would have checked. Did you check the back pressure sensor? You have also changed the air pressure sensor. Are you getting any boost or none at all and a limit of 2.8krpm? So long as you are clearing the faults in your code reader, draining the ecu shouldn't really do much.

@@enginium6043 Cheers! Not locally, but I have a couple of final checks to do first anyway. It's also crossed my mind that the limp mode might be caused by the auto box first which creates the no boost to save the engine etc, then when the engine is revved to 3000 rpm, and the throttle is WOT, this means there is a massive excess of air flow in the system which then triggers the P0402 code. So instead of it being to an engine issue, the engine is responding to a box issue! Mind you my scanner did not show faults in the box , but ay be limited in what it can read there.
