I have a 2000 308 Cdi Sprinter I noticed over a period of a week a small compression leak coming from injector only when cold
On the Weekend after travelling about 300 KLM without a problem E.D.C light came on for 2 seconds and van stopped, towed to brothers house and replaced seal on troubled injector, van still would not start, any advice would be much appreciated.

The small leak is/was probably not the main problem. When the edc light comes on it means you have low rail pressure. This can be as simple as a clogged fuel filter, air leak in lines or a pump problem. Eric

You should get a scan for DTC's with a Sprinter specific scan tool. It may provide a direction for troubleshooting.

A shot in the dark. Did the escaping gases from the leak cause any connector or wire harness damage? Is this an OM612 engine? Even if not, the older injector ECM aka ECU architecture/design may be similar in that a problem with any one injector signal will cause engine shutdown with no restart.
