2004 2005 2006 Sprinter Turbo Actuator P2099 P2043 adjustment replacement problems 

After spending thousands of dollars having same exact problem, luckily i fund this video you just saved me lot of money... THANKS !!

Thank you for this video, same scenario, spun the turbo about 3/16 of an inch and all the limp mode problems we have been having are gone. 6 screws btw. Awesome advice

Thank you for posting this video. Although my 2004 is running well at this time, I like to see what the different codes mean and what needs to be done to fix them.

You are a winner. I’m having the same issue and have researched before I spent bigger money and you hit it out of the park. Thanks for sharing.

No homo man I love you lol. I've been working on one of these and you answered several questions I had about what goes where and where certain sensors were and you just gave me the answers to what I've read 900 forums to find out. Great work brother!

I have no problems now but am waiting the day when I'll be needing this info for my 2004. Thanks!

Thank you friend you are helping a lot of guys out with this beautiful and instructional video, you rock keep on posting when you can god bless you 😇🤗

Thanks alot clocked my turbo and now shes running great thanks for the video God bless!!!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

This was so helpful thank you so much! I just installed a turbo and this solve the problems I was having too!!! Awesome! Many thanks!

Thanks for the hard won information! You helped me out.

Dude! this might be the video I needed to see! Thank you for explaining. I basically did everything you did with hoses and sensors resonator still nothing. thank goodness it doesn't go into limp mode but it sure does bog down and rolls coal up hills and stuff. I have touched the gate arm arm before and seemed a little loose but on there. Im gonna go clock the turbo today and hope it fixes it!

thank you for the enlightenment from that video , as i have been having similar problem w904 sprinter 2003 ,changed turbo , sensors and acuator also , goes well along the flat but hills no going up at good speed , so i called it a can hardly get up hill , but will try that as spoken with a mechanic , he stated after i said waht you reckon about clocking his reply staemenn, was never heard of it , so guess i will not be asking for further advice , stay safe happy driving

good video, info like this takes ages to figure out, not to mention the $ on parts swapping.

great Video, I have the same problem, I tried to "clock" the turbo like you said, it didnt work because when I turn it counter clockwise, the turbo (intake side) will hit a metal hose right underneath it.

Nice one fella, respect, thanks for sharing.

The actuator arm was up, shooting too high. But I believe even if it was too low it will cause problems. When you put the turbo and actuator together on the bench you really don't know the home position. So I say put the turbo and actuator together on the bench but don't put the actuator control arm until it's in the van. Start the van move actuator arm up and drop, rev the engine then shut the van off. You'll see it won't be in the same position as it was when it was installed. Unless you got lucky when you put it together. Good Luck hope this helps.

great explanation thanks!

Thanks bud , big help 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great info, thanks for taking the time to explain the whole story.

Was the waste gate arm UP or DOWN when you "lined it up" with actuator arm?

Can someone explain what clocking a turbo means?

I Thank u b 4 even Checking mine .

How did you reach the bottom bolts? 3 are easy, one you can feel your way on to, and I think there are 2 that I can't even see.

Having identical problem, will replace turbo tomorrow, very curious now

Is not a Waste Gate...the actuator move vines inside ...... IS A VARIABLE TURBINE.

My Turbo went out on my way home from work today sitting here in my van don't know what to do I made it home but I don't have the power I used to have the turbo got real loud and all sudden when quiet I was on the highway going highway speeds

so I'm wondering what makes a turbo UNCLOCK and is their any Mercedes Benz documentation on clocking the turbo someone would be kind enough to share? banging a turbo with a pipe is not a procedure I can execute.

Thanks or the info!

I removed the shield before clocking the turbo. It makes the job much easier and no scratched knuckles. :-)

Thank you ... had a p2043 a couple months ago in my 06' it cleared it self within 24 hrs... thought it was EGR or Inj. Having an EGR prob right now and the vents were 60% to 70% occluded... I cleansed it and it stalled out and blew the base gasket... WTF? Any Ideas ? ? ? Many Blessings , SMR

Good to know. i will disconnect the actu. arm. before doing anything! thank You

5 thousand for a turbo gee how come you didn't go for that? They must be frikkin crazy.

Haha, the day has come from my post below. My turbo is sounding like it has gravel in it and went into LHM, bearings maybe, idk yet

Hello Everyone,I owed a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500, i love it, but one of this days while I was driving on highway lost power, so it wouldn't go more 50 or 60 mph, I took it the Dodge Dealer they did like 4 different things that costed me almost $1600, I picked it up and test it on highway and still not power at all. I took back to them, at this point I haven't heard from them. Any recommendations or advice about it will be greatly appreciated. Not light on on dash. Thank you!

Thanks my man! Mine goes into limp mode and when I cycle the key it’s fine again until idle when it goes back into limp mode. Probably the actuator bad?

My turbo blew up, snapped the shaft. I have no idea why. I got a new cartridge and was first getting a high boost error. Now I'm getting an O2 sensor code, low voltage. I did have a sticky wastegate but it fixed itself. I took the O2 sensor out and it was completely covered with soot. I cleaned it with a hot touch and brake cleaner. I have decent highway speed but I can tell it's in some kind of limp mode. If I come to a stop and pull out, it dumps blk smoke. Any ideas?

Hi, the term limp mode describes what my van is doing. I had an "upgrade done" because I got something in the mail saying I needed it done..(even though my gut told me NO!) After that the technicians could not get my van started. Then they got it started and had to leave the MAF sensor disconnected. I got a new MAF sensor and changed the air filter which was badly damaged and clogged. I hoped that was what was the problem. I drove it about 100 km and then it lost power and I "limped" home. No power going uphill and no passing power. I cannot afford to take it to a mechanic. I will buy a diagnostic tool but someone else previously mentioned an actuator problem so I am leaning toward this as being the problem cause it sounds right. I believe I can follow instructions to change this. Any more details will be helpful. Thanks for your info

I seem to have loss of power and I swear I hear a air noise. I checked all hoses, resonator, etc. I didn’t check the actuator arm moving by reving the engine b/c it's just me. I guess I could of took off the arm but didn't do it yet. I did unplug the turbo press switch and noticed a engine sound change. Any ideas? Like I said, I seem to have loss of power and loss of fuel economy.

How long did this turbo last? Planing to order an gt2256v from ebay as well thanks

Can I purchase an inside sliding door handle...mines broken and I can’t source any here in Barbados

Hey can I ask ya ,what year would you say is a better one to buy ,on the Diesel engine on these. ? I don't want the DEF system years....Unless they have a delete kit & tuner. ? thanks. Oh ,I'm going to build a RV out of one, or buy a Built RV with t e Mercedes sprinter platform.

What is your opinion on the turbo after having used for a couple years I hope?

Did your turbo shut off randomly and then if you pulled over and reset the key it was ok for some time ?

So at idle is the arm supposed to be up or down?

👌👌👍👍✌
