I have a full time plus part time employment so time is limited

Flagship Motorcars Mercedes and Sprinter Lynnfield, Ma.

First hour free to forum members.

Seeing the small amount of activity in our area for non-dealers. I thought I would put out a helping hand. For any do it yourselfer's , if you are stuck and in need of assistance, obviously we have everything.

If you are a forum member, just shoot me an email and the first hour of diagnostic time is on me. And yes, that would also mean it would be handled by the infamous Carl.

Just trying to help.

Best,

I have a question... 2008 Sprinter 2500(with the bluetec)... I have changed the oil and fuel filter... Now, how do I get the message that says service in 600 miles to reset... I plugged into the OBD II with my scanner but can find no option to reset....???

I don't think that was the purpose of this thread. Things get cluttered that way. You might want to start a new thread.

I am a bit confused by the different 'scan tools'. Could someone please explain the differences, and which one is best used on the 2007 Dodge 2500 deisel? Where can you purchase one? What do they cost?

Thanks

Jon Caples (jdcaples) periodically posts an excellent guide to what-scanner-scans-what...
and *he* has a 2007 diesel 2500 (and a stack of scan tools), so it's the perfect guide for your question.
Use the search bar and it'll show up.

..in fact, post #2 in this very thread answers the 2007 question...

I work full time, but am willing to help people that have a Sprinter issue (I have been helped by random people when I had problems on the road, and I believe in paying back) that can get their Sprinter to my house.

I can help with some things as well as providing a driveway to park in while working on repairs. I am not a shop, just someone who has a Sprinter that has always worked on his own cars. I have tools available to work on problems.

I have some used spares (Turbo Hoses, idler pullies, etc.) for 2002/2003 Sprinters that were replaced on mine (all serviceable, and working well enough to get someone home again). I also have spare fuel filters, oil filters, drive belts and a few sensors that tend to fail a lot.

I may not be able to diagnose 2007 and later Sprinter issues, but don't let that stop you from contacting me if you are having problems.

No generic "ODB-2" scan tool on the shelves of WalMart or your local AutoZone, Schucks/O'Reilly etc will accurately read all 22-24 computers in a 2007+ US/Canadian Sprinter.

Having said that, here's some (maybe all) we Sprinter-Source NCV3 owners know....


For Independent Mechanics/Commercial Users/Chronic Enthusiasts (like me) that need therapy

For the serious DIYers (who arguably also need therapy)

Launch Diagun - somewhere north of $1,500 USD

AutoEnginuity with the OE Mercedes coverage - cost: do your own research


This needs investigation:

Rumor has it that VAGCOM/VCDS will work with 2007+ US/Canadian Sprinters

Jon, you're not recommending CarSoft?

OTC and Snap-on both have Sprinter specific coverage for their respective scan tools. Similar to the Autoenginuity, maybe slightly better, but also much more expensive.

Re: Scan tool Access

I am looking for info on how to close 2 open circuits on my 2011 Sprinter. Had work done on diesel part. filter and now trying to pass CA smog. I have driven about 800 miles since work completed. Stopping and restarting various times over the last 5 days.
