Hi,
I realize this has all been asked and answered before but as I am so far unable to diagnose my issue, I am hoping someone could at least help me cross some possible faults off the list.
Sprinter 2006 T1n 2500
Symptoms:
Van goes into limp mode, usually not until I am on the highway and almost always shortly after I get into 5th gear ( If I am shifting manually ). Sometimes it will go into limp mode before I lay into it, but usually the turbo operates as it should gears 1 - 4 and then goes.
Since the turbo works on every reset before limp mode occurs, Does this mean I that I can rule out the actual turbo being faulty, or the actuator ?
I don't have the money to throw parts at this issue so I would really like to avoid that. So far I have:
- replaced the turbo resonator, looked like it needed it and that it might solve my issue, but no.
- I noticed a LOT of oil residue and buildup on the hot and cold side that connect to the plastic piece of the turbo to intercooler hose so I took that assembly apart, cleaned it up, and could not find any leaks, but I swapped the hoses for a used assembly that also looked fine and did not help.
- I noticed the o ring on the map sensor was broken - so i replaced that. nothing. Can this broken O ring cause the sensor to fault ?
- I let the van idle and sprayed (almost) all of the vacuum related tubes with propane and noticed no change in idle. Should I if there is a leak? I tried wd40 too and couldn't find anything. I have posted some pictures of the seal here - wondering if this looks a little loose ?
To summarize - I am wondering with these symptoms - are there any issues I can rule out ?
- Should I be using a diagnostic tool to check vacuum?
- Will rust in my exhaust cause a turbo leak?
What should i do next ?
Thanks
