Yes, that can cause you problems. I had a customer
once
who was doing something on his diesel with it running
with the air cleaner off, put down his glove,and it
disappeared-it was sucked into his intake. Diesels
have
high compression ratios and high suction at the
intake.
I don't remember exactly about the intake(on the XN6
they were built into the head), but take the air
filter
off and open the throttle. You may be able to get it
out that way; and if it's not there, it make have been
sucked into the cylinders and bent your valves. Hope
not. It's been along time since I worked on them, and
I
did alot of M-B diesels since then; so I'm thinking
the
turbo may not have had a throttle. Don't think it'll
be
in your turbo as it's blowing, not sucking; and it's a
more convoluted route to the intake. I hope someone
with more recent experience verifies this or has some
better advice. If you can get the stuff out, notice
when you crank it if the engine seems to have a smooth
cranking sound or if it sounds uneven as if it's
losing
a cylinder or more; or if it's turning over faster as
if it has lost compression.If you bent valves, only
the
head needs to come off. I doubt if it did any more
damage than that. Anyway, I hope the intake is just
clogged. Good luck!
