stcbenz83, your car won't have a banjo bolt because you have a 240 D. A 240D is not normally turbocharged.

Please understand when you are looking for the banjo bolt, it really does not look like an actual banjo. The banjo bolt attaches the boost line to the rear end of the manifold on the passenger side of your car. If you don't have a bolt holding a plastic tube to the end of your manifold, look for a hole where it should be. If you DO discover the bolt holding the plastic tube (the tube should arc to the other side of the engine and attaches to a tiny little controller on the driver's side of the firewall), remove the bolt and the tube and clean both of them, then reinstall. If you don't have the bolt or the tube and instead have only the bolt hole, your car is probably REALLY slow....
