Sprinter EGR replacement
My concern is with the 3.0 liter Mercedes sprinter engine, I now own a 2013 model 3500 Greatwest Van, Legend Ex and am on the third EGR IN LESS THAN 30,000 miles. Replacements have been diagnosed and completed by Mercedes service and completely covered by warranty. In each case the check engine light came on and ODBC indicated EGR fault along with loss of power, seemed like no turbo. Upon inspection EGR was very sooty and stuck so it wouldn’t operate properly. I’d appreciate knowing EGR best practices ie... driving practices, fuel concerns, maintenance or cleaning requirements and any other topics to be aware of. It seems many Sprinter owners have had similar problems, while others report none. Mercedes extended the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles on this part. Thanks in advance for a reply, Michael Scarcella Aitkin, MN GWVan, 2013 __________________ 2014 Legend Ex Sprinter 2008 RS Adventurous Sprinter2.8KViews0likes7Comments
