Do you have video on how to replace pressure regulator.

Valid point but the engine is a puma 3.2 and a good engine

thats a nice vac pump, what brand is it or whered you buy it?

@drsoot9760 thank you for uploading this video, I've watched a number of other videos on water pump replacements for mercedes sprinters and they all pretty much take the front end off and the fan out, does this not need to be done? I'm changing my pump this week and would love to know as it would save me so much time and headache. Thank you

Does the water pump act as the vacuum pump or does it just consume all the vacuum and cause the low boost code

Brilliant videos..very helpful.thanks a lot.

Great video! Man I have 2015 sprinter with code P245C something with the EGR valve we did work on this engine to reemplace the Orings from oil housing now I have 4 codes !

Hi,my van won't start,no error codes on engine but on exhaust system I have low intake pressure, throttle valve out of range and egr rate out of range.i can send you the screen shots just so you can advice me what to check for

I have a 2016 Mercedes sprinter 2500 3.0l diesel van just had the water pump replaced along with pullys ect about 2-3 weeks after van now is in limp mode no turbo boost getting obd2 code p0237 says boost pressure sensor. I can't find where this boost pressure sensor is located or If that sensor is my problem any help would be much appreciated

Hi, when I installed the water pump on my sprinter 2015, the vacuum won't go in any direction, I removed the small rubber tube from the change over valve that goes to the water pump and I tried to blow air in and out and it doesn't go in either direction, I think the vacuum should go from the water pump to the change over valve. I need help about it, Thank you.

hi what is the part number ?

I have 2008 2.1 and I got the code p0243. Wastegate actuator A. Crazy thing is I found two of thise regulators under the hood. Shall it be one or two? I'm no mechanic and I'd appreciate any help

Hi, I have a 2014 e250 blutec with what I believe the same motor. Car was running fine but mechanic found the water pump was leaking. Car has about 120k on it so I had it changed. Since then I had the p261f code show up but drove for about a week. I was driving and got a turbo code p0299 and p00c4. The brakes also went out and the red brake sign illuminated on the dash. Towed to dealer and they said I needed a new vacuum pump. They replaced that and upon pick up no codes but car felt sluggish at low rpm. Slowly after all the turbo codes returned and I still had the p261f also. Car feels like it pics up at higher rpm. But initial take off it falls on its face. Any ideas?

Is this for the p226c code!??

I’m having boost issue & will check my water pump tomorrow 🙏🙏

Thank you sir!! This fixed my vehicle. What a pain to change that part! Awesome thanks again 👍🏻!!!!

Thank you very much. I’ve been getting an overboost code And surging from 1400-1900 rpm. I just got an outlandish estimate from a car repair place. Im going to try and replace this piece first!

Thanks

Ford started out making consumer cars and not trucks, and it really shows

Hi would this cause sprinter to go into limp mode , mine will drive fine then goes into limp mode stop turn van off then sit for 5mins start and limp mode will be off

What Torque specs did you use on the new pump?

I hope you can help mate , I have this engine 2.1 really haven't had any complicated problem till it passed 250k , running fine but when you carry heavy load and push it a little bit hard , then the (P02A7 cylinder 4 fuel trim at min ) this code had really exhausted me mate , I checked every thing I know ( checked if any vacuum leak using spry method to see if idle will change No sign , swapped injector 4 with injector 1 , still same ) as soon as you clear code will start just fine and until you go uphill or carry heavy load , the only thing am suspecting is o2 sensor have you experienced this kind of problem ?

Hi what is the name of the valve your change too water pump and what is the other one

I have p261f code but no Leaks no damage I heard a sound like air but strong when it go to 1 to 2 shift and 3 shift may it is the vacuum the manifold was leaking it’s was Intek was leaking it was fix now is making air pressure sound Can be the vacuum?? Mercedes sprinter 2014 2.1 2500 ???

hello i am from france, i tried to maintain the vacuum and it does not hold the vacuum on the tank, do i have to change the vacuum tank or the water pump?? thanks thanks

Where u from I need help

Thank you for the video 👍

To add, the CAC hose rubs against the motor mount on the drivers side. God help you if you want to replace the front Macpherson struts. The dashboard has to be removed. The whole thing. Down the the firewall. Also, Ford says there is no cabin filter for this van in North America. There IS a cabin filter for the European version. Guess what? Both versions use the same A/C Evap core box and ducting. So yes. There is a cabin filter. And because Ford says there isn't, nobody checks. So the Evaporator core gets plugged full of all the dirt and crap from outside. So eventually it must be replaced. For this you must remove the dashboard. Which is handy if you're looking to replace the Macpherson struts. We have several of these, mostly diesel, but 2 gas. I have done this job on 3 of them. The frame is flimsy stamped steel sheet spot welded together. Stupid design. All garbage.

hi mate I just taken intake manifold cleaned it and same egr and put it back now the van crank but no start at all , checked the pressure sensor that attached to fuel filter with one bolt , looks like the connector on it will come right off but do think could be because of that sensor ?

I get the error code P2263 Turbocharger Boost System performance from time to time, when downshifting a gear or running full throttle on the highway, can this also be caused by the components you mentioned?

Bought 2017 3.5 ecoboost in 2018. 70k driving through the desert and ca traffic for the past 3 years or so. Towed Jeep to Moab from Vegas (all up hill) have no problems so far ( knock on wood). Runs perfect, pulls like a freight train. Drove to Nebraska, Sturgis, Yellowstone etc. from Vegas in August pulling motorcycle trailer last year. Couldn't be happier. Now afraid to upgrade to 350 for more power based on these comments. Maybe I just got lucky? Change full synthetic oil at 10K and service transmission as owners manual states. No issues in 110 - 120 summer heat and freeways at 85 or stop-n-go so far. Don't jinx me! Very happy with my mid-roof transit! Sorry to hear of your problems. So far none of this has happened to me yet.

It's not a Ford engine unless it's got an oil leak😄

Is there a EGR delete kit for this engine

I have the 3.2L Diesel turbo in a 350HD van. We have been going through the EGR/leaking water/cooler deal for almost a year now. Finally stopped CELs, but I consistently lose power going up 5% grades (never an issue before) and it sounds like the turbo actuator or something is not letting the turbo give power, its like a naturally aspirated engine under load up hill. Cant even hear the dang turbo whistling like it used too. Found a bad inter cooler hose on the intake side, the hose that you had off to show the throttle body. What a nightmare. It just NEVER ENDS with this van. 3.2L is worst engine ive ever dealt with personally.

so basically if you take all the mounting clips that hold the lines in place, cut them loose and have all the hoses willy nilly, bouncing around rubbing on other hoses is somehow Fords fault? Cmon man! you gotta maintain the hoses and line clamps to keep hoses and lines where they belong so they dont damage other hoses , seems obvious.....

Engine is a failure

Thank you for the share!

Like the video!

Hi Doc, i just got the diagnosis from my dealer and they want to change the Vacuum Reservoir as well, I did not happen to see any talk of this in your video or the comments, is that also contaminated and need to be replaced? Thank you.

can i ask how you got the 2 bolts off which you mentioned at the end which are on that slanted bracket Did u use ext or did u work close up I tried for hours and they are tight

Gonna go out on a limb and guess you work for Frito Lay

The dealer said I have leak on my 2015 2.1L no water showing so he must be talking about the vacuum. do you a video showing how to take the fan off?

Great info Thank you

Great information 👍 my UK spec 2.1 is having the same issues. Went into limp mode on a long journey, thought I'd fixed it as I found the battery terminals loose. After another long journey same issue. I can get vacuum but it won't hold it it slowly leeks off, if I clamp the pipe from the vac reservoir to the boost control valve under the egr cooler it holds vacuum 🤔

3.2 worth it? ( I'm a Diesel guy and not a gasser guy) thank you for the video

These Mercedes Vans seem to be more trouble than they are worth. They break often and when they do its $$$$. Is that the case?

EGR decreases NOX but contribute to more soot or DPM in diesels. The engine eats its own shit. Delete, Delete and Delete. EGR, DPF, SCR, and DEF all suck. Most Govt. and military vehicles have no emissions crap at all.

only 4 years old engine break down , qualities is job 1, not FORD for me

Thanks for this video! I got a P261F and also a p0218 code on my 2014 glk250. I noticed one day I was driving and the engine temp starting dropping a lot. Would a failure like this cause issues like this?
