Great video. Good to see the Turbo at the end. Very cool to the Sprinter Tech for initiating this video. i have no turbo action at all right now with my 04 Short and Low. Very hoping this will be the case. thank You for the knowledge of the clips.
Coming back to this one! I just recently dealt with a loss of power, no turbo and black smoke which felt like A/F issue, No codes on OM647. EGR was fully stuck and clogged, cleaned that up and all well now but come think of it both bad EGR and actuator seem to produce similar symptoms so now with EGR cleaning I'm going to inspect, clean and lubricate the actuator at the same time.
Definitely. I wash and oil my entire engine bay occasionally. Wash with Dawn dishwater and rinse. Dry with a leaf blower, drive to warm/dry, then spray everything with WD-40 or similar oil spray.
Loving your channel! I have fixed so many things I would have never attempted if it , wasn't for your straightforward instructions. Question about the clip, if it does go flying, where can a replacement be ordered from? Mine may have taken flight....
"Been there, done that!" LOL Any local hardware store will have "E-Springs" but you'll want to ask where because they don't display these tiny parts. You may need to try a few sizes to see what fits.
I have a 2008 sprinter 3.0 very hard to start changed the fly wheel sensor still hard to start I have to use ether to get it started runs perrfect when it starts but if you switch it off for just a second it will be hard to start again was wondering if it might be the injector pump ?
I'm not familiar with the common* problems with a 2008, being an NCV3. But High Pressure Fuel Pump seems a likely culprit, unable to produce pressure at low RPMs. Theorizing, once the bump gets enough speed it will produce enough pressure to fire the injectors. Could also be a fuel rail or injectors releasing the rail pressure when volume is lower, as it would be with low RPMs until starting.
Purple Van was not harmed in the making of this video. Hehe There will be a new video of purple coming soon. In the opening I use some parts from our shelf to demonstrate the clip, but most of the video was shot by Mallory as we worked together diagnosing her van troubles by text and video.
@@FloridaVanMan @Florida Van Man I'm just curious if that pin seized "while being driven regularly", or if it was parked for a good bit of time. I'd think it wouldn't if it was moving around (being driven), but parked in a moist climate could be a problem.
@@utahjohn5480 It was parked a while doing other things to it. I wonder if the turbo area was cleaned with degreaser before sitting, but we have seen this linkage frozen on a few project vans.
I have a similar but not the same issue. Driving last night and lost power. Looking at it today and my actuator arm that is on the bell crank (not between the module and the turbo) seems to be seized and doesn’t move when engine is off - is that normal or a problem? There is also a bit of a whining sound when revving the engine. If the actuator arm is seized, is there a fix other than replacement for the turbo? Thanks for all that you provide for the T1N community.
Ya lost me at "bell crank". Our turbo actuator won't move when off because the worm-gear internal motion. I don't know what other linkage you are referring to.
Nice ! I was wondering if it could move freely when not working! Thanks again for your advice and professional tips!

Red Bull clips 😂😂😂😂😂 why is this so funny when I'm beat up by this van😂😂
Would you recommend preemptively hitting it with a rust lubricant product such as PB blaster.
Definitely. I wash and oil my entire engine bay occasionally. Wash with Dawn dishwater and rinse. Dry with a leaf blower, drive to warm/dry, then spray everything with WD-40 or similar oil spray.
great video thank you

@@FloridaVanMan Thank you for the info!
Does this linkage get hot from the turbo? Would high temp grease be good for lubricating this part to keep it from rust freezing?
Seems like a good idea. That linkage definitely gets hot!
@@FloridaVanMan I'll try it out and report back if it smokes off.

@@FloridaVanMan thats what i was thinking the high pressure pump
was this the purple one? I think that one sat for a long time?

where are you located in FL ?
zip code 32738. No shop or garage that a Sprinter will fit, but we do help keep Sprinters going when channel supporters visit.
