I have a 2004 sprinter 311cdi with sprintshift and a speed limiter set to 100 km/h. There's also a tachograph fitted as it used to be a disability minibus (originally converted by uv modular in the UK)
I'll describe the issue as best I can...
When driving around 92 - 96 km/h, there's a slight loss of power and the orange exclamation mark light comes on. This is usually very brief. It's almost like it wants to change up a gear, then realises it can't go up, so it changes its mind! The power drops, there's a bit of a 'lurch' in the van, the light flashes once or twice, but then it comes back to normal.
This happens when I drive in Auto mode, and the same happens if I override the auto and have it in gear 6.
A similar thing happens when going uphill with a turn, at speeds above 80km/h, but in this situation the light stays on for as long as the wheel is turned and there is no real loss of power.
I hope you understand the problem?
I should also say that the tachograph has been disabled and there's a permanent TCO light.
Can anyone suggest what's going on? And if so, what to do!
Thanks, Andy
