Identifying the correct turbo for your Mercedes CLS
Before ordering a turbo for your Mercedes CLS, it is essential to check the exact reference stamped on the turbocharger currently fitted to your vehicle. On the CLS 500, several turbos may have been used depending on engine position or changes to original parts; only the reference taken from your old turbo can confirm compatibility with this new turbo, referenced 827053-5001S.
Engine fitment on the CLS
This new turbo is compatible with the Mercedes CLS 500, fitted with the M278 twin-turbo V8 petrol engine with an engine capacity of 4663 cm³. The engine codes covered are M 278.922 and M 278.932. This engine uses two turbochargers positioned on either side of the block; reference 827053-5001S corresponds to one of the two elements of the forced induction system. We recommend checking the position (left or right) as well as the exact number stamped on the housing before placing your order.

Exchange basis and warranty
This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, return of your old turbo is required. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your CLS is not left off the road during the process. The part carries a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.
Common causes of failure on the M278 engine
On this twin-turbo V8, premature turbo failure is most often caused by insufficient lubrication due to incorrect oil, oil that has not been changed in line with manufacturer recommendations, or a clogged air filter allowing particles to enter the compressor. A blocked intercooler or cracked boost hoses can also cause pressure losses and accelerate bearing wear.
Points to check before fitting
- Cleanliness and free flow of the lubrication oil circuit
- Condition of the intake and boost hoses
- No obstruction at the air intake
When starting up, prime the turbo with oil before the first engine start to ensure immediate bearing lubrication as soon as the circuit comes under pressure.
