Common Sprinter Diesel Issues We Repair

1. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) & Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) System Issues

Short drives, idling, and low-speed operation prevent your Sprinter from reaching regeneration temperature—causing:

• Clogged DPF

• Failed DEF pumps, heaters, and sensors

• Check engine lights

• “Limp mode”

• Start countdown warnings that eventually prevent the van from starting

Our team performs:

• Full DPF diagnostics

• Forced regeneration

• DEF system testing & repair

• Sensor and heater replacement

• Proper fault-code reset and verification

2. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Failure

Carbon buildup is common in Sprinter diesels and leads to:

• Rough running

• Loss of power

• Check engine light

• Reduced fuel economy

We provide:

• EGR cleaning

• EGR valve replacement

• Intake cleaning

• Live-data diagnostics

3. Fuel Injector Leaks (“Black Death”)

One of the most notorious Sprinter problems. A failed injector seal allows combustion gases to escape and form a thick, tar-like buildup around the injectors. Left untreated, it spreads and becomes extremely difficult to remove.

Our service includes:

• Leak diagnosis

• Injector removal (even severely seized injectors)

• Copper seal replacement

• Surface preparation to factory spec

• Preventative torque and sealing solutions

4. Glow Plug & Control Module Failure

Sprinter diesel engines rely on glow plugs for cold starting. Failed glow plugs or modules lead to:

• Hard cold starts

• Misfires

• Warning lights

• Risk of glow plugs breaking during removal

Our technicians use specialized extraction tools and heat-cycle procedures to remove stuck plugs safely—saving you from costly head replacement.

5. Turbocharger & Intercooler System Issues

A failing turbo system can cause:

• Significant loss of power

• Whistling or hissing noises

• Limp mode

• Poor acceleration

We repair:

• Broken turbo resonators

• Cracked intercooler hoses

• Faulty boost sensors

• Turbocharger internal failures
