Anabroo Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 A few days ago, my automobile entered a state of reduced power due to a malfunction. To resolve the issue, I performed a deletion of the input port shut off motor to remove the problem. Considering that I recently conducted extensive repair on the manifolds and connections, which were functioning well, I believe it would be prudent to replace the defective motor. Furthermore, I have observed that the vehicle exhibits less responsiveness at low speeds and the gear shifts seem to be somewhat inaccurate. I am uncertain whether it is just my perception, but I am unable to cease contemplating the notion that I should bravely confront the situation and go with the replacement of the motor. Is this a prudent decision or am I being too particular? I am aware that the task is challenging, but I am certain that I can do it alone. The only obstacle preventing me from proceeding is the exorbitant cost of the motor. I am curious to know the prevailing opinion on this subject.

AmericaMonster Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 I have been using the resistor for an extended period of time. Initially, I saw a minor enhancement in engine braking when releasing the pedal. However, other from that, I have not seen any other changes. Based on my limited comprehension, I believe there could be two potential problems that might impact the intake motor. 1) The swirl flaps are becoming stuck due to the accumulation of debris in the intake manifolds, necessitating their removal and cleaning to prevent further occurrences. 2) The oil spilling from the orange turbo intake seal has caused damage to the inlet motor. If your issue pertains to point 1, replacing the intake motor will not provide a solution. If the issue is related to point 2, it may provide temporary assistance until the inlet ports get clogged in the future. Do you have both 1 and 2 occurring simultaneously? If all components are functioning well, it is advisable to retain the resistor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 If there were to be a future occurrence of an oil cooler seal leak, it would need the removal of the intake manifolds for cleaning purposes. Currently, I am considering replacing the inlet motor. However, whether or not I will still own the vehicle at that time remains uncertain.

Captiva Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 The flaps being kept open is the only cause of it. Poor combustion that may or may not be beneficial for your DPF. Â The optimal approach is to rectify it thoroughly. Disregard the bodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 He probably doesn’t have a dpf , my 2009 does not . Proper fix , absolutely all day long but he won’t with the new inlet motor have any change out of £1200 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 Considering the price, I would engage my Member of Parliament to address the situation. The exorbitant cost set by MB is endangering air quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 I think the op is a 2007 car so that ship has sailed . It’s an 8+ hour Labour job to have the manifolds removed (same as the oil cooler seal replacement) and £200 ish for the inlet motor . Soon adds up . Thats why I have left the £1 resistor in place until I’m forced to pay the £1000 for the oil cooler leak . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 The price of £200 for the motor is acceptable. Labour prices for MB vehicles are accessible to all customers prior to purchasing an MB vehicle. "Proper maintenance is not an expense, but rather an investment that yields returns." That is an MB strapline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anabroo Posted February 10, 2024 Author Share Posted February 10, 2024 Apologies for the delayed response. I have successfully replaced the oil cooler seals, installed new flap linkages and cleaned the intakes. As a result, I believe that in order to restore my car to its original condition, it would be necessary to replace the engine. I have come across advertisements for engines priced at 170 pounds. However, I anticipate that the installation process, particularly the linkage connections, may pose some challenges. Therefore, it is something I need to carefully consider. My vehicle does not have a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 If that is the situation, I would install the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
