with a reman , then I would check it, this engine has the electric crankcase filter that is integrated into the valve cover(seen it in fuel trucks) is this correct
check your turbo waste gate or vpod which ever is equipped on engne

I despise these engines. All of our Mercedes have worked so well except the 09's with the stupid '07 emissions.

Has your egr cooler blown out? Are you missing any coolant? Is the smart actuator on the turbo working? Have you taken the plug off the ecm and cleaned out all the oil that gathers in the plug (oh ya, all 6 of ours does it)? When it starts getting a lot of oil in there, strange things happen.

Pull off the hose from the turbo to the charge air cooler....check out all the oil going through there, that's why your egr keeps clogging up and sticking shut. Detroit told us that it's normal for oil to pass through the turbo into the CAC and wouldn't warranty us a new turbo.

Anyway, let us know what you find out.
