Thank you again for an excellent complete teaching video lesson. I know from the hissing sound you had a pretty good idea what the problem was, but you guided us through it step by step. Thank you again
Love the videos! Thank you for being such a good teacher! I do have one observation about the oil leak... Not sure if the customer ended up replacing the turbo, but I doubt that was the source of the oil. I would check the Crank Case valve on the back side of passenger valve cover. The turbo sucks the oil vapors right into the charged air system. The PCV (or whatever Mercedes calls it) is a terrible design. I have a 2012 aprinter 3.0 and I had to install a good oil separator (ProVent 200) and it works great to keep the oil out of the air system. Hope that helps someone. Thanks again for the awesome, well done videos!
This is exactly what my Dodge Van 2007 2500 is doing lag of power specially on the hill. Mechanic told me the intake Manifolds are bad need to be replaced and is gonna be extremely expensive to fix. Made me wanna give up my Van. I will be checking for hose cracks, hopefully is the some diagnose problem
Hello my Friend ! thanks for sharing these experiences . i have a 2015 mercedes sprinter 3.0L that has no trouble code whatsoever and seem to drive normal . however i did notice my DEF fluid tank still full and never added any to it even though i drove this van over 800 miles . based on this what could be wrong here thank you !
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I know but I am not a well known tech like you. It was an awesome experience. I saw all the other stars Oz, Mario, Sadel, Keith, Brandon to name a few.
i Saw alot of ur videos ,i liked them when u do with lapscoup ... i have a mercedes sprinter B W906 2014 3.5 T 95 KW Twinturbo The Problem is when you start the engine at the first second the RPM rises to 4000 without touch gas pedal . and the blue smoke coming OUT from rear vane. i hope u can answer me as soon as posible please i will be thankfull .....
Could you please tell me which scan tool you use to read Mercedes codes? I’ve taken my 2010 van to a couple of local shops and they’re unable to read the codes except for P0299.
Hi there, man from the UK here with a problem. I have a 2011 Mercedes Sprinter with the 3.0 V6 (OM642) with auto box. I've watched hundreds of videos and you see to know more than anyone else. My turbo appears to boost and blow apart the seal from aluminium pipe from the resonator? I've changed the PCV and the 4 seals from the intake to turbo, the Green O Ring, the large black seal on the resonator and the black O ring on the back side of the resonator, as thought this was causing the limp mode and EML. All straps, bolts are in place and rock solid when I reseat everything. But on a rest drive the 'pop' is heard and the large black seal separates. Seems to move upwards a bit, like an opening draw bridge? I've seen this problem on a few videos, but no one knows what the problem is. Can't be a leak, so could it be a blockage further down stream? Fingers crossed this is a known issue, with a fix. Great that you are teaching your nephew. Kind Regards from the UK.
Vince and Winnie Glad to know that you are watching from the UK, make sure there is no blockage on the induction system but if it keeps happening turbo is most likely leaking oil causing the black seal to get slippery and pushed out!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Even though its a 2011, it's only done 62,000 miles. Plus it was a London Police riot van that was serviced without expense being spared. There is some oil, bit that appears to be the normal amount, especially as I changed the PCV to the updated version. My worry is a blockage further along the system, causing back pressure and blowing at the only place that could be called a weak point? Do intercoolers get blocked, or is there something the other side that could have failed? I'll have to check if a mechanic left a rag I'm the induction pipe or something? It's been 5 months of searching so far. EML with limp mode in auto, but OK when using manual modes. Now the EML doesn't come on, nor the limp mode, but still seems to be too much pressure? I'm told they have a redesigned resonator at Mercedes, but would the resonator itself cause back pressure? I can see this having to go to a Mercedes main dealer to sort out, as I'm running out of ideas. Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.
Hey man been watching u for a while. I do carpentry for a living, bought a sprinter '08 2.1 diesel loses power drastically up hills on flat goes normal codes P0299(turbocharger/supercharger A underboost condition) P0243 (wastewater actuator A) i spent 700 bucks trying to get rid of the problem but nothing, if u know anything about this I welcome your expertise advices. Thanks
If I do psi test. What are the numbers? Could the actuator that's connected to the turbo lever be bad? Cuz when I turn the key just for contact the lever doesnt move....Thanks man I know u mad busy
I have a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee with the om642. I keep getting the p0299 and limp mode. I have pressurized the intake system and have repair any and all leaks. The actuator seems to be functioning correctly. On a snap on scan tool it was only pulling the p0299. Do you have any idea what I could be overlooking with this? Thank you sir!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thank you! That was my next thought. Do you have any idea what the ohms of that should read? There was a small deviation between the actual pressure and set point pressure but I would like to verify by ohming the sensor.
@@justinp9515 The resistence measurement may not be accurate, you are going to need a scope to test the sensor or take it to someone who has a scope to test for you!
