Thanks for the video, after many thousands of $$$ for repairs not needed from both MB and Freightliner, misdiagnosis and actually a fried computer thanks to MB dealer Hendrik Motors in Charlotte NC after a $3,500 preemptive change of the timing chain, I come to the conclusion its better to learn how to fix it your self. Just did complete service, motor, transmission, rear end, new glow plugs, intercooler and hoses as well as resonator and seals. Got 420K on mine and still hope to see an other 2-300K. Being retired today I no longer can afford the costly dealers and it is so helpful to have folks like you that share know how as in the end the older engine are still workable without a fancy shop charging $280 an hour. Aside parts are often a fraction what the dealers want. Sven

Hello Clay... I first want to thank you for your video... I sure hope you have others... I just found your channel.... About my issues... I recently bought my second Sprinter van... My first was a 2004 140" 3500.... I loved that van...My van today is a 2012 170" Extended ... I thought I got a good deal... Until I got it home in LIMP MODE.... And found that the previous owner cut off the catalytic converters... And after diagnosing some 32 other issues...Such as a bad swirl motor... And bad turbo intake plastic thing that is separated and blowing compressed air from the turbo ... You get the idea...... I want to watch every video you have ever produced about Sprinter Vans.... Thanks again ... Sincerely, Captain Ron... Key West FL

THANK YOU, thank you so much Captain Ron. I’m going to keep this , Close because if I’m ever down in the west keys I’m going to stop by and take a look at your van for free!! All right this may not be exactly for free I will need to mooch for a couple days and fish 🤣. In all seriousness I know quite a bit about them . But I do not know everything. If you ever have a question just ask I appreciate your kind words God bless him take it easy. As I’m sure you do down in the keys. Ps i’ve never been there. I’ve been to Miami a couple times and to the Caribbean but I want to go see the keys someday.

Hey, are you me? I just bought a 2013 170" extended van from IL that seemed like a good deal and on the way back to Michigan it entered LIMP MODE. Just got back from one of the only dealerships in the Detroit metro area that will look at sprinters and they want $3400 to replace the left and right manifold and fix an oil cooler leak. I too will be keeping a close eye on this channel as it seems I will need every bit of guidance I can get on the issue if I want to keep my wallet in one piece. Plus one sub.

Well, thank you so much for subscribing Pat. We greatly appreciate it. If you have any questions, it’s always best to ask them through my Facebook page, clays, ac and Auto Repair With a DM . And the only reason I say, that is because I don’t always get all of them here along with having a conversation here is terribly hard because messages get missed. OR YOU CAN ALWAYS EMAIL ME AT THENEWCLAYWAY@GMAIL.COM. When you’re looking at your auto scanner live data, you want to look at EKAS make sure that they’re doing the exact same thing that will tell you if it’s your Intakes, but from the sounds of it, it could be your particulate filter is loaded up. I would have to have some live data information possibly to be able to help you and then I’m not super good at all that information at least diagnosing it over text but we can certainly try.

I just bought a 07 sprinter I think I have a bad oil cooler leak .oil everywhere would this effect those banks? . I'm pulling alot of codes p2005 p2004 po234 . And 2 glow plug codes . Any advice on how to fix and where to buy the parts cheap ?

@sharpcarco Жыл бұрын

Well, you definitely have an oil cooler leak… it’s a 2007 so it’s gonna need the intakes done. You have to do them anyways to get to the oil cooler leak and then you change your glow plugs when you have the intakes out? I don’t know codes off my head so I don’t know what they’re for Probably for Intake runners I’m guessing.

Yes there is in this video will show you I’m glad to hear you were able to clean your intakes. But I’m going to tell you from experience personal experience that it will go back into limp mode very quickly from my experience there’s only one way to clean them and have them continue to work and that is to disassemble them completely and reassemble them arms included Let me know if you need to know how that works but here’s the video where I show you how to put in You should I call sprinter van playlist because you should assemble it completely as one unit and install it entirely it is a pain in the butt when you have the intakes in there already but I show you how to do it as a complete unit and how to make installation brackets kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbd-eLuH05aRk5s.html

Hey Mario good evening I’m sorry off of the top of my head I’m not quite certain that I remember having a problem with that coolant tube but if everything is still loose like it supposed to be you will be able to start all the bolts and then tighten them down once you get all of them started. I’m thinking that’s a possibility why you’re having a problem. Hopefully you’re not talking about the coolant to at the very front that is a very big pain in the ass. If you’re having problems with that you need to re-loosen everything up and then start all the bolts like I stated up there and try again sorry I hope I’m understanding correctly if not just feel free to message me back

just ran across your video and you guys did a very good job. I have a 2011 3.0L Freightliner Sprinter. About how much should I expect to pay someone to do this type of job? The code says "intake manifold runner control stuck open". Please let me know what you think.

@sharpcarco 5 жыл бұрын

The dealership quoted the gentleman that I did this for $3500.00 I did them a lot cheaper than that for him. Because he let me shoot the video of me doing it and it took five days should’ve been a 2 to 3 day process. He paid $1000 for his intakes off of eBay and did not look in the box before he brought them over to me. They sent him two of the same intakes so that created a light complication. Luckily we were able to get one local for about $700. You may be excited Josh to hear that probably within the next week or two I’m going to post a video showing you how to bypass that intake problem code that you’re talking about. But replacing the intakes is the proper way to repair it. And I’ve been meaning to make that video for about three months now. But I’m absolutely certain I’m getting very close to actually doing it if you’ve got any questions you can hit me up on Clays Ac and Auto Repair on Facebook messenger. I’ll happily try to answer them God bless and I appreciate the very kind words have a great day

Hey, just saw your video, very helpful! Could you explain in couple words the symptoms the van had and why you had to tear the intakes apart? Want to double check see if my van is doing similar things, thanks

@sharpcarco 5 жыл бұрын

Well even if you take the intake soften that is not your problem you certainly cannot harm at what we had was it was going into the limp mode and it would say Something about one of the runners not working you could clear the code and drive it for a couple seconds but it would go back in the limp mode there was a ton of carbon buildup inside the intakes and this is very very common for sprinter vans that don’t use blue DEF and maybe comment to them as well but I’m uncertain I’ve never owned one hopefully that information is helpful to tim if you got any other questions just let me know

Hey clay thanks for the video. I have an 09 with 52k miles I was wondering if I need to clean egr and manifolds Mine is limping but not throwing codes. Stop and restart fine for 250 miles did it again ideas? I do have a tuner on it

@sharpcarco 5 жыл бұрын

Your very welcome!!! My video of the intake install is way more complete ..... anyway ... that is strange .... No ck engine light when it is in limp mode before shut off? Removing intakes on these is not a fun job.. I doubt that’s your problem at that low of mileage . I very seldom ever seen these need to be removed and cleaned before 150,000 miles generally 200,000 miles or up. I wish I had some good ideas for you. the only other thing that I could think of is your EGR valve maybe going defective , I had that go out on mine before Intakes went. So sorry other than that I wouldn’t have any good ideas 💡.

@fordracer1415 5 жыл бұрын

I was told that the the charge tube could have a leak possibly from the extra boost the tuner is creating

@sharpcarco 5 жыл бұрын

That is extremely possible sometimes they crack. There may be one that needs to be replaced . inspect the hoses for cracks or listen for air leaks as someone presses on the fuel and let’s off of the fuel you should hear a sucking noise. You may even see the tubes expand where the crack is. I actually forgot about that I’m not that smart sometimes. And forget things. I’m getting very old..... lol Sorry I should have thought of that.

I honestly do not know the answer to that but I was curious about what the ohms of the resister should be so thank you for letting me know because I’m going to definitely try it out . I know when the squirrel motor moves back-and-forth it goes off of one sensor to another sensor so I would be surprised if that works but I know people are doing it so I got assume that it works

Ok. I've been having some strange happenings with my 2008 Dodge sprinter diesel for some time now. Everyone I've talked to about how mine is acting. All the "Professionals" go straight to my swirl valves. After thinking & dealing with this for sometime now. I'm not sure it is my swirl valves. I'm thinking that it may just be my EGR valve. I haven't a clue how to work on one of these. Or how they operate. I watched a video on how to remove, clean, reinstall the EGR valve. While the kid had it apart he actuated it. A light went off in my head. This valve working slowly which this making my throttle responce & taking off from stop signs slowly is exactly what I've been experiencing all along. Plus, The EGR valve gets horrible soot build up when you let these pos idle to long. For the first 7 years of owning this pos. I use to let it idle and leave my air-conditioning run to keep my cab cool. After I would do a job. My van was like heaven. It was so cool inside. Well, Now at only 55k miles. I'm paying for it ten fold. Next week I'll pull my egr off. Clean it. Determine if I need a new one or not. Then let you know if it cures any of my problems. I just don't understand as soon as us amateurs say anything about slow throttle response. All the professional go straight to the swirl valves. They never mention the soot problems with the EGR valve first. This is an easy clean or replacement even for us amateurs. I'm not sure I would attempt the manifold replacement??

@@r.seaboats6666 mine has been acting really weird. On the 21st of last month I had major corotted arterie surgery. They went in and did a bypass on them. Splayed them open. Scraped them clean. This last monday was my first time out of my house. Which means my van sat until last monday. That's almost 4 weeks. I came out in the mid-morning and started my van. The check engine light was still on just like 3 weeks earlier when I had my operation. I drove it to the post office. Which is about 2 1/2 miles away. I shut it down came out when I started it up at the post office. The check engine light was off. It's still off & the van is running perfectly. I haven't a clue what's going on with it. I'm out of town now until Tuesday. When I get home on Tuesday. I'll let you know if the light is still out or not & how it is running. I'm still considering removing my swirl valves & putting in this electronic device the tricks the computer in thinking everything is working fine. I really think this is the best way to go with these trucks. This swirl valve bull shit sucks with these trucks.
