Can somebody with a 98 or 99 E300 post some pictures of their turbo? Specifically the turbine side, exhaust manifold, and turbo-manifold flange.

Also, if anyone has the part number of the turbo mounting flange gasket.

Thanks a bunch.

Was out changing the fuel filters, for no particular reason, fill up the filter, then the pre-filter and started right off. Minor stumble only no extra cranking at all...

Sorry have not cleaned the engine bay in about a year.

So I had not even closed the hood yet and saw your thread, but now the Manage Attachment option on Reply to Thread is not popping up anything???

If I went to the trouble to take the pictures I'd like to post. Can someone try to attach something just to see if it is working?

The pictures.

It's not what I expected. I was thinking the OM606 used the same turbo flange as the Mercedes/Dodge/Freightliner Sprinter.
