Diesel Engine Repairs

At about 240,000 miles we put about $6,000 into our 2004 Sportsmobile/Sprinter recently. until that time we never needed a tow although we "limped home" several times in need of a turbo resonator or an inter cooler hose. These kinds of problems cost several hundred dollars to repair but were mostly done the same day they occurred. We also had to replace a head gasket for about $3,000 before 100,000 miles. That is an unusual repair for that model van. Brakes and lube jobs, while expensive, have been few and far between. We find we get good service on the road from Freightliner dealers. When Freightliner can't handle a problem, they know who can. We have a local garage that does our routine maintenance and there is a good Mercedes dealer about an hour from us. My wife and I expect to enjoy using this van for another 10 years if our health permits.
