+iceblue yes that's so true, it sucks but it's true, this is why I fix everything myself and spread the knowledge to others, I am tired of people getting ripped off

ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Do, what do you think , I should stay away from Sprinters ? I'm about to buying one from 2010 and honestly, I'm a bit worried about possible issues and maintenance costs.

All vans have problems, I like sprinters because I know what to expect and can fix it without much effort, not only that I can teach you guys to do it to, let me know what you choice, maintenance is one of the biggest things to worry about

ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Thanks for replying ! You have a new subscriber. Well...it6 even more difficult to choose now, when you confirmed my worries. Fact is that I'm in the wheelchair, traveling alone and living full time on the road. So that van, should be my home also. Keep in mind that I would not put it to work, so won't earn his money to spend often for expensive repairs. The only reason I would choose this one, because it's 4x4 with reductor, looks very nice, it's way more lifted up than a normal Sprinter. The van have about 250.000 (if they are even real ). But if they always have problems, why people still buy them ? I'm trying to have a better idea. Be well and safe out there !

To be honest, Sprinters are more reliable then they look, sure they have there problems, but mostly due to people not understanding what it takes to make it right, usually it’s something simple, but mechanics make the problem look bigger then it really is, or want to fix every little thing and do to much preventive maintenance, and give you a big bill, when your just trying to get it running good to make more money. So my advice only fix what will keep the van running. I am speaking for 2002-2009 Sprinters After that there’s DEF to worry about, and there’s shops that can delete it and get rid of particulate filter, and that will make it better. I know this information will make it harder to make your choice of a Sprinter, but it’s the truth, I am not sure if there’s vans that have less problems, there’s some gas choices like Ford Transit and Pro-master, I say don’t get a pro master, it has bigger problems that go with engines and transmission shortly after 100k, the fords can go up to 500k with less problems but still will have some. But when it comes to sprinters, we mostly use them for Expedite and put on 500k Miles in no time, sure there will be problems, and some problems are big headaches but, when I get them I make videos showing what happened and show you how to fix it, I guess with electric Sprinter there will be less to worry about in 2019

Check EGR or for a boost leak

Your welcome

+la mama de KZfaq thanks so much, I will look into that, I actually have replacement hose if that's the case, I will try hunting the problem in my next video thanks for wishing me the best, same thing to you my friend

Your so welcome and I will continue doing this I enjoy helping people, please let me know what videos you would like to see more of

You have a boost leak, find the leak and turbo boost will be back

@@ZimaletaMotors thank you ,I will find that soon.

Ok your welcome

If you need to ask me some questions I do consulting you can email me zimaleta@gmail.com

Good idea thanks

Can you try exposing it more in detail, it’s hard to understand if your having transmission problem or engine problem or both, but if it’s transmission related to it not shifting out of 2nd gear then that’s a conductor plate, but if replace it and your problem will be solved, here’s a kit with everything you need for $80 amzn.to/30hEcoK it’s a very good deal, also buy transmission fluid at $4.44 per quart it’s the kind I use get 9 quarts add 8.5 when draining the torque converter, or just 4.5 quarts if draining the oil pan only amzn.to/39bykkT

+Pedro Regalado wow fried wires, that's a new one, did that cause a problem for you? I need to do a break job soon, I will look at mine

Your problem is with the shifter it self, I have one for sale if you need one, I sell parts on eBay now, but don’t have this part listed yet, my eBay store is in all my video discriminations in my new uploads

+gert 04 where is the Air Flow Meter located? Are you talking about Mass Airflow Sensor?

Yep, by the way today I bought 2012 Mercedes Sprinter, does not start I will fix it

Had this happen too. Lock the shifther.

Это может быть что угодно

@@ZimaletaMotors подскажите какой правильный сканер мне нужен под спринтер? У меня есть универсальный, там есть спринтер,но он не может соединиться, я взял у товарища чисто мерсовский сканер.icasron.ll. он тоже не может мне выдать ничего. Я чето даже приуныл.

@@ZimaletaMotors icarsoft.

This is a scanner I use, it’s really good AUTEL MaxiLink ML 629. $126.98 here is the coupon code 15autelml629 which can also save 15% at checkout. amzn.to/2udMsXo But here’s the one that will work for all MB models m, it’s iCarsoft MB 2 amzn.to/2LjrUYH

+Pedro Regalado I used stuff that I don't recommend for you to use, I used to drive a Cadillac and I used GM Radiator Fluid in it, I had 3 cans of that stuff left over, so I went ahead and used it, because Cadillac has a special Fluid to keep it cooler, this is why I used it, it should not be a problem because Cadillac Engine is Aluminum and this is non corrosive mix, my Engine was always running a little hotter from New, I thought it might of been due to Radiator leek but apparently replacing the Radiator did help but not as much as I hoped, because I have a winter Thermostat and it keeps the engine hotter, perfect for winter but there is summer thermostats they keep the engine cooler in the summer

Ahh wow welcome Finbarr from Ireland it’s always nice to get viewers all over the world

ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW SPRINTER HELP what do you think

Thanks for the help that’s your so called here for

Wow very nice, you know I appreciate all your information on my channel and I would like to give you my number give me a call sometimes but first text me to let me know it’s you do I answer 803-235-9512 also you can email me at zimaleta@gmail.com

@@ZimaletaMotors is it any way that I can have a conversation with you about this because I just brought 2006 c280 want shift from 2 to 3 gear and I’m think gas peddle or conductor plate

Not really sure, forgot what’s in the video, but I find problems all the time

Ali Radmand More likely a bad gas pedal sensor. www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/DC/17864-05194007.html?DN&+Dodge+Sprinter+2500+Accelerator+Pedal+Sensor+Standard+Motor+Products+APS163+04-06+Dodge+Accelerator+Pedal+Sensor+2005&fp=pp&gbm=a&PartsGeek+Google+Base&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzqTYgcC_2QIVVySBCh1qrQvyEAQYASABEgIQ3_D_BwE&ad=47433965532 www.rockauto.com will probably be the cheapest in selling the pedal.

One more thing, if you look for a part for Sprinter on rockauto, look under Dodge Sprinter, it has more parts than looking under Mercedes or Freightliner. Just a side note...

Cool

Ok sounds good

Yep sounds like a good plan, but how do I know if it’s torque converter or clutches when I get black oil and slipping especially in low gears and when it warms up

I have many videos on it, it’s hard to explain

Yes

Some Diesel engines require . Some type of diesel igniter to help with the diesel to have a complete burn. Like I said some diesel specially industry Diesel engine with diesel dye fuel ⛽️. Hope this info can help you !

Yours has a turbo on top of the engine, under the air intake

Thank you my friend, i hope you keep up this good work.

Thanks will do

+Mason Nesson could be, I would not be surprised because a bad harness could cause allot of problems

ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING I hope your diagnoses are correct regarding the EGR valve ( I just watched your next video) ! Good luck

+Mason Nesson lol thanks for your support my friend

Can get new looms with plastic clips £33 each

Yep

+Joe Moto could be anything at this point, but in next video today I will hunt for the problem

ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING I recently replaced mine, and that fixed my limp mode. My limp mode was about 50 mph. Look forward to seeing the video

+Joe Moto cool I already made the video will post in the next hr

Use Archoil 6200 for gas and 9100 for oil

+Eliot Yang yeah it helps, I want to get a better one that can clear transmission codes

ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING OK nice.

+Eliot Yang 👌
