300sd turbo diagnostics

Hello again,

Thanks for all the input.

I have since checked the Alda lines which are OK. Including the Alda.

I have checked the waste gate valve for operation, I applied an air hose to the input, you can here it clunk in and out with the pressure from the hose.

However, how do check for the waste gate valve itself for leaks?

Do I need to remove and physically check for this?

This car takes off nice in 1st gear, but when you get to the 2nd gear
[ probrably around 2000rpm ] it will not accelerate . You have to let off the peddle a bit, then it changes up.

It has trouble accelerating up those long uphill runs.

Please advise

Brian
