Still puzzled
Kerry with the turbo crossover disconnected it should not affect the idle smoke production.
Barry the acceleration is not terrible though again I am reluctant to drive it much.
Bogey I am going to investigate your idea , The only documentation that I have for the car is an invoice from 2007 for trap ox replacement. This blew me away as it appears that MBZ seems to have replaced the entire exhaust system and the turbo on a then 20yr old car. The exhaust does appear new front to back with the original shiny appearance of the piping. The mileage listed on this invoice is the same as what is on the car now. It appears that the odometer is not working but I am not sure how much use it got in the last 4 yrs. I include the invoice. I am wondering if they screwed up something when they did the trap ox like a piece of insulation or something got into the piping.
