For the MERCEDES Classe E (W213) in 350 D 286 hp (210 kW diesel), the autoKUR catalogue holds 1 exchange-standard reference(s). At equal displacement, two outputs do not call for the same part.
Engine specification: 2925 cm³, diesel. Matching part number: 1000 970 0248 (BorgWarner - KKK). Compare with the code stamped on your part.
A remanufactured turbocharger for the MERCEDES Classe E 350 D 286 CV starts at €2100.00. This engine takes a single reference, 1000 970 0248: the price shown is the one part that fits your vehicle, with no variant to compare.
The reference is 1000 970 0248. It is what settles the match on a MERCEDES Classe E (W213) with the 350 D 286 CV engine — not the vehicle's trade name, nor its year.
Because this engine was built with a single turbocharger. Other Classe E engines carry several references depending on the production period; here the choice is unique, which rules out any risk of error.
It is on the riveted plate of the centre housing, on the compressor side. The plate holds the marking even on a part coated with oil and soot. It is the only reading that confirms the match with 1000 970 0248.
Part 1000 970 0248 is sold as an exchange unit: it has already been remanufactured and balanced, and the turbocharger you remove goes back into the reconditioning circuit. Return terms are stated at checkout.
An exchange turbocharger is an original part restored to working order: wear parts are replaced and the rotating assembly is rebalanced. It carries the same reference, 1000 970 0248, and fits in place of the part removed.
No: it matches Classe E (W213) models fitted with the 350 D 286 CV engine. A Classe E (W213) running on petrol, or at a different diesel power output, takes another reference.
No. Two Classe E of the same year can take different turbochargers depending on their engine. It is the engine-and-power pairing — here 350 D 286 CV — that determines the reference, and the code on the removed part that confirms it.
On this diesel engine, a turbocharger nearing the end of its life shows up as a loss of power under acceleration, smoke at the exhaust, a whistle rising with engine speed and a drop into limp mode. These signs overlap with other intake faults: diagnosis is a job for a qualified technician.
On this 350 D 286 CV, the ECU limits the engine when it no longer finds the boost pressure expected for the 286 CV rated output. A turbocharger that no longer regulates pressure correctly is one possible cause, alongside an air leak or a faulty pressure sensor.
On this 350 D 286 CV diesel engine, blue smoke means oil is passing — turbocharger sealing is one candidate among other parts; black smoke means an over-rich burn, so a lack of air at the intake. Colour guides the diagnosis, it does not replace it.
No. The whistle can come from the turbocharger itself, but equally from a leak on an intake hose, the intercooler or the wastegate. Noise alone is not enough to condemn the part.
Yes. This diesel engine takes a variable-geometry turbocharger, whose movable vanes adapt boost to engine speed. It is the part that seizes most often on this type of engine, and it is among what is restored on reference 1000 970 0248.
By a fault code read and a boost pressure check, carried out by a qualified technician, before any order of reference 1000 970 0248. That check separates a failed turbocharger from an air leak or a faulty sensor — three faults with similar symptoms but different remedies.
Yes: reference 1000 970 0248 is the original fitment for a MERCEDES Classe E (W213) with the 350 D 286 CV engine. It keeps the dimensions, the mounting and the connections of the part removed. Fitting is a job for a qualified automotive technician.
