I actually ran all of the old diesel through it when i got the car. Well, i put about 2-3 tanks through it before doing the diesel purge in the way you mentioned. Did the purge twice through a "closed system" i guess you could say, then changed filters while i had my injectors out and was rebuilding them

i really appreciate the help guys, no other forum seems this active, esp on trying to fix the issue. the AMG guys just say "go to the dealer" LOL
anyways, on to my CURRENT issue now.
So regarding the noise i started this thread about, i did three things, and now the noise is totally gone:
Oil change
Re-adjusted valves
Ran Lubro Moly super diesel additive through a tank of fuel
For whatever reason the noise is not there anymore.
BUT. I have a new issue
I have driven the car about 200-300 miles since last posting about this noise, and YES. I have developed another noise. I swear it is always something with this car. Just installed new speakers, and reinstalled my whole exhaust system in search of a more refined ride, just to be hit with this. The sound (to me at least) seems like either a pulley screeching occasionally, or the turbocharging is failing. Regardless, the car loses ALOT of power every once in a while. By a lot, i was trying to get up on ramps to put the exhaust on, and at full throttle i could barely make it up the ramps. My 0-60 time when it is feeling "low on power"? 24 seconds. When it is feeling normal? Have not timed it, but it is leaps and bounds quicker. I would say 14-17 seconds. Noticeable loss of power, but intermittent. Such as tonight, it drove perfect until i got into my neighborhood. Here is the video. I can't tell if it is coming from a pulley, or the turbocharger. Lets hope its a pulley
