Anyone know where I can get parts for a Garrett turbo?
There are few sources for turbocharger parts. Most rebuilders will NOT

Dave,
It sounds like your turbocharger may be in need of a rebuild. What you
describe is definitely not normal. If consumption is OK with the
15W-50, I'd be tempted to keep using it until the problem gets worse,
and then fix it. Or fix it now if you have the time and money. A good,

I own both a W126.125 (1986 300SDL) and a W124 (1993 300E 2.8). Both are

reliability, style and comfort of the W124. I have no problem with the elbow on

was available in the 201.126, but may not have been available in the US
or just none may have been ordered.

I'll have to keep in mind that bio is cheaper than dino in AZ and carry a
spare set of filters. I'll be in Scottsdale the 16th through the 18th of

I believe 40 is not as desolate a drive as 10 is.
