Good idea with smoke test. I did test with 1.5 inch rubber plumbing cap attached with clamp to turbo air intake and valve stem works good also and use spray bottle with water and soap to find air bubbles in the system but doesn't test the pcv valve for leaks
that sounds like it could work if you already have a good approximation of where tour leak is, might be tough to spray down everything though, were you able to hold pressure?
but with the turbo leaks fix discovered my serpentine belt about to shred and was able to do it in like 30 minutes after watching many hours of videos with the engine out of the vehicle not roadside emergency shred
@sprinterfix I bet you'd get lots of views if you did an emergency roadside serpentine belt replacement. I watched numerous videos and all of them showed with motor out of the sprinter.
Great video!
thanks bud, glad you found it useful

@sprinterfix so far so good it was leaking mostly at cold hose but you're right with the smoke test would be better
Thank you so much!!!
Very welcome! , your name suggests you own a Westfalia sprinter, is that the case?
I had a 1984 VW Westy. I restored it. But parts quality because terrible
@@kayakwesty I hear those are the vans to turn electric given they have simple manual transmission? ever thought about an electric conversion?

Super tough to show getting the belt on with the everything in place. Tried filming it half a dozen times. Let me know if u would watch that video
@sprinterfix of course you helped me discover O'Reilly sold me the wrong belt for 2011 3.0 .thanks again
haha. Ohh boi. Well I’m glad that video helped at least one person
