Oh hi. So yours has a mechanical fuel pump. They are more bombproof and shouldn't have as many problems because they are much simpler. 👌 Thank you. I still have a lot to post here; I have been editing today, so maybe next week I will upload another video. Enjoy 🙏 And if you have any questions, I would be happy to help you.

@Timosgarage85 ok Bro,thanks a lot for your help

It has to be an impact, because it will flex if you use a lever. The impact gun I use is a Milwaukee that has a maximum torque of 1356 Nm.

@Timosgarage85 tnx for info and quick response. I will try again with my impact. According to the specs, it should work, although i did not have any luck so far.

@luciusveracius Spray WD-40 on the nut and threads and let it sit for a few minutes. Maybe it will help.👌

Oh, of course, I did. The old ones get always squished. The bottom of the injector holes were in perfect condition, so I used original-thickness copper spacers.

😂kyllä aina kiinnostaa nähdä miten asiat toimii 😄. Ei se mielestäni niin monimutkaista ollut, toki ei monelle suositele lãhtee aellaista tekema. Vaikka suuttimen disaineja on niin monta erilaista.😄 Ja kyllä tässä oppisi muutamia juttuja matkalla. Olen kuitenkin käynyt autoinsinöörikoulun 4 vuotta, niin ei nyt itte ainakaan epäille kykyihin😅

Thank you! Will look great when I get the bodywork done, painted, fender flares, a spertire in back, big new wheels, and get the engine tuned to 190 hp.😄

Is engine 2.7?

@IoIo-qu2vk no that’s the 2.2

@IoIo-qu2vk It's a straight 4; it's actually not so different from a straight 5. They do shear many parts. I do have the streight 5 in my dually

Well, it was not so difficult, just need to be careful because it contains lots of small parts. Keep them always clean and lubricated with diesel. As the diesel shop recommended, it would be always good to replace the head nuts of the injectors. Because I wanted to be 100% sure that they worked, I took them to be tested. Two of them were leaking. This is why it smoked and had a long crank start because it leaked the needed pressure from the fuel rail. The test and 2 nut change cost me 240€. Now it works perfectly. Starts right away😄

I would recommend sending them to a professional shop that has the skills and tools. Just wanted to show that if it's an emergency and the shop is far away, it is possible to clean it yourself.👌

Well, you can make the holes for spot welding and then flip the head to make the offset step for welding. It's called a "hole punch seamer". www.biltema.fi/en-fi/tools/hand-tools/pliers/special-pliers/combined-hole-punch-and-seamer-2000019446

@@Timosgarage85 thank you!

@JJ-ut5iv Oh, sorry, I misread it. No, I don't; it would be more precise if I could, but the shape is complicated to bend a small 1 mm step into it. That small overlap will not affect the seals or panel gaps. Also, when installing the skin sheet on the front side, that small change will not pull it so much inside that it would be visually noticeable.

That's still a good point you pointed out. Later I will smooth it out with filler, prime it with 2K primer, add body sealer on the back of the door edges where the skin was wrapped over the back panel, and then paint it all.

@@KatzederHund Thanks🙏😄

The rear panel behind bumper? I changed that on my other sprinter😄

@nhungoc3570 Hi, first I would check the fuses. After that, the vacuum line from under the brake reservoir to the solenoid under the car that its not dissconected or leaking. Do any of the light turn on the button when press 4x4 on?

@ it does not has any light on when i press the button, nothing happend

@ where is the 4x4 fuses where it locate friend

@nhungoc3570 I have to check, maybe under the driver's seat. If no lights come on or blink, then check that the plug behind the 4x4 lock switch is not disconnected. I have seen some cars where the plug was off.

@@Timosgarage85 the swith is connected not fall off. I think it is a bigger problems

@MrNdz71 Thank you. I am learning all the time and getting more tools to work efficiently. But I do not yet see myself as a professional. 😄

@samsonacc8081 I just checked; it seems like the steering knuckle/hub is very different because it has to be able to take a driveshaft to the hub. They are different. About the subframe, I'm not 100% sure if it's welded from the factory with a spacer or if it is added afterward. They usually want to weld it so they have fewer parts sandwiched together to ensure it's more rigid.

Yeah I had my doubts about knuckles. Thanks buddy, I appreciate you checking that👍

@@KatzederHund yes, my father just told me today, he watched the wideo and sayd that can give me some. Also balm hammers, to work with the metall😄. Thank you🙏

@@cotin18 parts where like 26+24€. New door...hmmm 683-730€ was for a high model van , low model van doors are rare, so may be 900-1000€

And I would have needed both rear doors, a side door, and both front doors. If each new one costs €600-1000, it would have been an expensive build. It is difficult to find rust-free spare doors, and if you do find them, they still ask a lot of money.😄

And it's much more fun rebuilding them than buying new ones 😂👍

@martincraig-je4vo Well, yeah, get more experience😄, and fear less to try. It feels great if you manage to fix something instead of just buying a new part.🙏

@@tonigugliotta1792 i will paint them from inside and outside with 2 compond primer and after that use gravitywax spray inside the doors. Should last fot years

They are usualy very expencive of you find a door that does not have any rust damage. Even damaged doors are pricy. Maybe in germany could be cheeper, postage still costs something.. the parts that i used cost me 19+28€ + my own time to swap( took like 5h)😄

You mean mercedes is made cheep or the parts?😄 and thank you. The replacement panels are cheep here, you can get them galvanized, or even thicker then the original. When i get all panels and welding work done, will paint them from in and outside with 2 compond primer and use gravityfax inside the doors and body. Then it should last for years😄. The original paint that mercedes had on sprinter is extreemly thin😂... i will paint the whole van over with 2 compond paint. It should be 3-4 times thicker👌

@@AlaminIslam-yx8qy you mean, like but bodywork, engine, drivetrain in diferent playlists? And thank you, hope you find aome usefull info here😄

Thanks, its a european webshop. Www.alvadi.ee/en

@KatzederHund Thank you, yes, I will get there. 😄 On other sprinter, they were rotten; I need to clean and make a bigger hole for water to drain.

oh, there was a part number on it, witch one was broken, the upper or lower? which i would have had checked them 1st with multimeter :D

@stco2426 Thank you, yes, you are right. No, they unfortunately do not have grease nipples. They do last long. On my first Strinter, the rear axle joint went bad. I did get a spare cross for the rear, but they do not have any C-clips/locks holding the universal joint cups in; they are just locked in by squeezing the metal to deform, so it keeps it in place. Mercedes wants you to replace the whole driveshaft. Here are companies here who may swap the joints and balance the shaft.

Hi Sorin, yes, it was easy. This is why I made the videos to show that the work is not so complicated, and people will not be scared to do this.😊, i think the socket was 32mm for the frontaxle nut and 30mm for the ones on the transfare case.

Ill check my factory markings aswell, hope thats the cause of my vibrations too... Lucky for you its solved!

@KatzederHund Yes, it came to mind to check because the previous owner told me that he had the clutch and flywheel replaced. So, whoever removed them never checked the markings.

@dardanjo Yes, if the outer diameter had been the same size. Heat could have removed the ABS ring. Later, I checked that these front drive axles were meant for W901 models that did not have ABS. The outside bodies looked slightly different. I did not measure the bodies; maybe they would have been the same size. Luckily, the balls and internals were the same size.

Really? As far as I know, you should tighten the wheel bearing nut to 200 Nm and then 120 degrees. For a 50, it would not be so bad. Hmm, about the driveshaft ABS ring. Autodoc also sells them with the ABS ring. Well, you could maybe heat it up and remove it that way. Autodoc also sells complete driveshafts.

Could you throw s link where you found it so cheep?

@@Timosgarage85 and how did you manage the 200nm plus 120 degrees with the chisel? 😅

@rgbgfabian2 I didn't 😂 I took a 36mm socket, grinded the head so it had exactly 4 tabs that matched the nut 😄. Used it to tighten and then loosened it a little bit. Well, I could actually do the same without. Just remember not to tighten it too much that it starts to bind, and loosen it a little bit, because when the bearing warms up when driving it has some room to expand 😄👌 just that i broke the socket that i made, just incase would be good to have a original one😂

@@Timosgarage85 sorry it’s also 100€ and a bit on that page now …:(

@kodiak4240 Well, honestly, at the moment, all the doors are rusty, but I'm working on it. I have all the new body panels ready. Maybe this weekend, I'll finally have time to start welding.👌 but thank you😊

@@wohnungsfrei yeah i think so. Im not sure will i post on next or after that a video where i change the seals on transfarecase and also rebuild my front driveshafts, just need time to get them edited.

What problems you have? Noisy bearings, chain or leaking?

@@Timosgarage85 My transfer case is causing vibrations and rattling. The dealer had lied to me about accident damage (the vehicle had hit the ground). translated with Google

@rgbgfabian2 Yes, I did. That was an important step, but I didn't show it in the video. When left empty, it would take forever to bleed the air out.

Haha 😄 yeah, the short models are good for off-roading. Because they are rare, the prices for them are high and seem to be even rising. I paid €5800 for mine, which is extremely low! While the owner was selling it for €7000, I'm not selling mine because I got it as a project van. The lowest I have seen in my country was €9900, and even one for €14000 was sold quickly. I recommend looking at www.Mobile.de. There are some for sale, and maybe you can find one with a low-range gear transfer case.

@@noah786 i'm in Finland. 4x4 sprinters here are very rare and prices are high and feels like the prices just keep rising on them.

thisone has lowrange transfarecase and rear locker suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=407922488&dam=false&fe=FOUR_WHEEL_DRIVE&isSearchRequest=true&ms=17200%3B116%3B%3B&od=up&ref=srp&refId=a3f1f562-81db-78f0-2592-26a2b0b8947a&s=Car&sb=p&searchId=a3f1f562-81db-78f0-2592-26a2b0b8947a&vc=Car

@stco2426 Yeah, mine doesn't have it. I was looking for one with low range. But because they are so rare, and this one came up with some "problems," it was the best opportunity to negotiate the price and get it. I think it's the zg3 transfer case that has low range.

@happyviking8888 Well, actually used 350 and then 400. It's a car dual-component clear coat. I asked Uno what brand it was.😄 and no, no scratch marks. Have done that way on atleast 9 cars as i remember. Oldest now 6 years and still same bright👌

@alai It is possible. You need to change the front subframe, add blocks between the rear leaf springs and axle, and get front hubs, driveshafts, and so on. You will also need a different fuel tank and all the vacuum actuators. You may even need to program the ECU to shut off the ABS and traction control. If you can get a rusted-out 4x4 or a crashed one to take parts from, I'm sure it would be possible. I was thinking to convert my 416cdi 4x4 before i did not have the 313cdi

Do not copy the MB.... put an axle under it like DANA 60 - 70 and the same i rear.

@@rvarsigfusson6163 sorry, i didn't understand this 🙃

​@@alai Just put some 60 - 70 Dana Spicer USA made axle under your Sprinter. Do not think of using the original Benz system. If you can buy 4x4 Sprinter then all good but other ways try to use real things as many others have been doing in many years.......

@@alai facebook.com/share/p/14eoD8QF14/ Here is one guy selling hes as doonor van, has all the 4x4 parts on it

@karlwestyman8387 Yeah, I wish I had an identical one. I used to have a 211 CDI. It was as basic as it could get, but it was the short and low model. I do have one friend who has one. Maybe I can make a better comparison.👌

@@karlwestyman8387 you had the fulltime awd?

@@Timosgarage85 ZG2 transfer case is fulltime 4WD. Center and rear locks. The parts I received were from a 416 ambulance.

@karloskelly Nice! Yeah, I have seen well-specced firefighters, ambulances, and even armored police vehicles. Which I could have had: the ZG3 transfer case with the low-speed gear.

@@JJ-ut5iv on the 313cdi 4x4 its 4,375 and on the 416cdi its 4,111🤔

@Timosgarage85 for us in USA a UK company Quaife is going to build a Torsen limited slip for 3.73 gears soon I tried the one for 4.37 and the offset was 3/8" too much to shim.

@JJ-ut5iv Yeah, I saw your post on Facebook. It would be cool to have a Torsen differential. I forgot to mention that. On the 416 CDI, the differential lock can be engaged even at speeds like 60-80 km/h. In 4x4, it will disengage the rear differential lock if speeds go above 50 km/h. And 4x4, I think, was disengaged above 80 km/h. I wonder what differential ratio options the Sprinters had in total.

@@Timosgarage85 in USA THE T1N had 3.73 & 4.11 maybe the cab and chassis could have bigger option

Thank you. Still a lot of clips to edit from other things I have done.🙏

www.puuilo.fi/c-bright-led-muunnossarja-h7 Parking lights are Osram Led. 6000k w5w On other sprinter have had them for 5 years and work still great. Had the headlights also restored on it and shine as bright as can get and does not heatup the headlight somuch has halogens.
