    2011 sprinter drives ok but noticed the boost was not working , then if I turn a sharp left turn the sluggish speed won’t go faster than 70mph also moved liked yours. Thanks for your video it shed at least some non dealership information which saved on money having them diagnose.

    the thing about sprinters is 99.9% of people have no idea how to work on them and the cost is ridiculous getting it fixed. I used to drive sprinters for a owner and I would bring it in to get fixed and it make me sick seeing the 2-5 k bills every time i had it fixed for various issues.You can fix it so most of the cost is saved, thats a good thing..

      ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Do, what do you think , I should stay away from Sprinters ? I'm about to buying one from 2010 and honestly, I'm a bit worried about possible issues and maintenance costs.

    • @ZimaletaMotors
      @ZimaletaMotors  6 років тому

      All vans have problems, I like sprinters because I know what to expect and can fix it without much effort, not only that I can teach you guys to do it to, let me know what you choice, maintenance is one of the biggest things to worry about

      ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Thanks for replying ! You have a new subscriber. Well...it6 even more difficult to choose now, when you confirmed my worries. Fact is that I'm in the wheelchair, traveling alone and living full time on the road. So that van, should be my home also. Keep in mind that I would not put it to work, so won't earn his money to spend often for expensive repairs. The only reason I would choose this one, because it's 4x4 with reductor, looks very nice, it's way more lifted up than a normal Sprinter. The van have about 250.000 (if they are even real ). But if they always have problems, why people still buy them ? I'm trying to have a better idea. Be well and safe out there !

    • @ZimaletaMotors
      @ZimaletaMotors  6 років тому

      To be honest, Sprinters are more reliable then they look, sure they have there problems, but mostly due to people not understanding what it takes to make it right, usually it’s something simple, but mechanics make the problem look bigger then it really is, or want to fix every little thing and do to much preventive maintenance, and give you a big bill, when your just trying to get it running good to make more money. So my advice only fix what will keep the van running. I am speaking for 2002-2009 Sprinters After that there’s DEF to worry about, and there’s shops that can delete it and get rid of particulate filter, and that will make it better. I know this information will make it harder to make your choice of a Sprinter, but it’s the truth, I am not sure if there’s vans that have less problems, there’s some gas choices like Ford Transit and Pro-master, I say don’t get a pro master, it has bigger problems that go with engines and transmission shortly after 100k, the fords can go up to 500k with less problems but still will have some. But when it comes to sprinters, we mostly use them for Expedite and put on 500k Miles in no time, sure there will be problems, and some problems are big headaches but, when I get them I make videos showing what happened and show you how to fix it, I guess with electric Sprinter there will be less to worry about in 2019

    Доброго дня, вообще купил такую диагностику по вашему совету, вытащил ошибки. Сегодня застраховал,получил номера и начал искать. Вообще при скорости если зажигание вылючить и включить то турбо начинает работать, но если наваливать в горку или в пол, происходит жёсткий провал мощности и опять не прет. Повторяя процедуру с зажиганием лечится мгновенно. Чтоб это может быть. Завтра запишу ошибки на бумагу.

    I have 2007 Sprinter my gear shifts by itself to lower gears while driving, . I keep the gear shaft pushed away to the right ( To words the passenger seat ) while driving, in order to keep gear in " D ". The Transmission is replaced with new 3 years ago very low milage so far. Any suggestion.

      Can you try exposing it more in detail, it’s hard to understand if your having transmission problem or engine problem or both, but if it’s transmission related to it not shifting out of 2nd gear then that’s a conductor plate, but if replace it and your problem will be solved, here’s a kit with everything you need for $80 amzn.to/30hEcoK it’s a very good deal, also buy transmission fluid at $4.44 per quart it’s the kind I use get 9 quarts add 8.5 when draining the torque converter, or just 4.5 quarts if draining the oil pan only amzn.to/39bykkT

    • @ZimaletaMotors
      @ZimaletaMotors  7 років тому +1

      +Pedro Regalado I used stuff that I don't recommend for you to use, I used to drive a Cadillac and I used GM Radiator Fluid in it, I had 3 cans of that stuff left over, so I went ahead and used it, because Cadillac has a special Fluid to keep it cooler, this is why I used it, it should not be a problem because Cadillac Engine is Aluminum and this is non corrosive mix, my Engine was always running a little hotter from New, I thought it might of been due to Radiator leek but apparently replacing the Radiator did help but not as much as I hoped, because I have a winter Thermostat and it keeps the engine hotter, perfect for winter but there is summer thermostats they keep the engine cooler in the summer

    Serg, don't waste your money on chip scanners. Buy yourself a DAS Xentry system, it will save you a lot of headache. If you need the info on where to get it, email me at perchikd@yahoo.com and I'll give you the information and I can explain how to use it.
    The scanner that you use reads only the OBDll codes and even those codes can be wrong due to the translation from Mercedes codes to OBDll codes. For example, it gave you a code and the description of a problem with throttle body, your van doesn't have a throttle body. 2007 and up have throttle bodies, the 2006 and lower don't have it. More like you have/had a problem with the gas pedal sensor malfunctioning and the ECU is not allowing boost by keeping the waste gate of the turbo open. Change the gas pedal and it will solve your problem.
    If you had a tool that reads the Mercedes codes and description, you would have been able to pinpoint the problem right away.
