Hello everyone, I have recently started to having this strange sound most likely from around the alternator area. It only appears when the engine is cold and remains until it warms up after a minute. Doesn’t come back only in colder temperature. I live in Southern California so it doesn’t get...

2008 Sprinter won’t start in temps ranging from -20 to 10 Fahrenheit (started up fine when it was 20-30 the past few weeks). We’ve tried treatment to de-gel the diesel, we’ve replaced the fuel filter, and we’ve tried as best we can to heat things up under the hood, although the magnetic oil pan...

My sprinter does not like cold starts at all. Like anything below about 20-25 degree F it definitely wont start. Anyway I've started to try and figure out why. Cleaned the clear fuel line off and looked, no bubbles, took off the plastic top cap to the motor and super super clean so no injector...
