w210 wastegate transducer quick question

[speednjay]

theres 3 hose fittings..2 top 1 bottom. on the side with 2 ..this big one goes to the wastegate....what connects to the other 2 fittings?

I can't remember the exact orientation but the 3 connections are the vacuum source, the waste gate and the purge filter. The filter is located up at the top of the inside of the fender near the air filter housing. It kind of looks like a fuel filter with only one fitting.

Would you happen to have identifying pics of these areas and parts, Evan? I'm trying to learn my way around the mighty W210's turbodiesel engine, after 14-years.......

I'm afraid I don't have a picture but the component is pretty easy to find. Just locate the waste gate on the turbo and follow the line connected to it, forward about a foot to see the transducer.

The transducer is located under the hose leading into the air filter assembly from the front of the car by the radiator.
