I have a 2012 Sprinter 2500 and my turbocharger stopped working while I was on the highway all of a sudden. it has 295k miles on it and this is the second turbo on the van. The van started losing power and I had to push the gas all the way just to make it accelerate moderately. There was no smoke coming out when we realized it and we drove back home. I rev up the engine now and black/gray smoke comes out. I can still hear the turbo little bit when I rev the engine.We took it to a mechanic and he said the actuator is bad on it. You can't buy the actuator separate from the turbo at the dealership and I'm not looking to spend $3000 at the moment. I took the actuator apart but I can't seem to find anything wrong with it, or maybe I just don't know what to look for. If anyone can help me figure out the problem, please let me know! thanks.
