If it's the turbo, I am going from a long time ago, but I am thinking it was about a $2K +/- MB repair, (IIRC.) Who sez these newish turbodiesels are cheap to fix/repair in parts. Check it out with your mechanic.

Hey Joe,
Do you remember if it was just turbo seals or what? One of my coworkers did the R&R on his turbo seals and all it cost was the removal time and the cost of the seals (under $100 IIRC). Although his car was a W124, I suspect that the W210 w/OM606 would be much easier. The turbo is much easier to remove from these newer cars.
I ask, because I have oil in the air inlet tube that connects to the intake manifold.
