Hey there,
I'm the proud new owner of a 2006 Sprinter. I understand it is a T1N. I've been lurking on this board during the purchase process to learn as much as I can. I got a pretty good deal on it as it needs a new paint job and some other tweaks.
I'm in construction, thus the big truck. The Sprinter is replacing a 2001 Ford E-250 that I maintained and fixed and brought back to life a few times for 11 years. (Before that was an '86 VW Vanagon)
Now this is my new work vehicle that I will work to keep alive as long as possible. I've heard great things about this engine package here and from friends. I'm eager to learn, and have found forums like this a godsend ever since I had the Vanagon and needed help keeping it purring.
Now to my initial questions. I'm getting a P0715 code: "Turbine/Input Shaft Speed Sensor A Circuit." I got that several times today. I do know what the (lhm) limp home mode is. Pulled over, shut the truck off and restarted it, no problem. It seems when you feather the peddle or back peddle you can feel the clunk in the transmission as the turbo shuts down. I understand this can also be a transmission sensor problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Unimportantly, the other issues are the a/c doesn't work, and I bought the ugliest girl on the lot. 137,000 miles. I rolled the dice. It drives and stops beautifully. New brakes and tires. This vehicle feeds our family. It was a little nerve wracking tonight putting the ole Ford up on craigslist. But I did, so I guess I'm all in on this Sprinter now.
