04 LWB 416cdi T1N OM612 rust-bucket
Gday fellas,
Im a tradesman and an owner of a 2006 2.7Ltr 416cdi Sprinter van with hi-roof LWB, sprintshift and every other option imaginable. With the price the dealer (Easter Creek Sydney) charged me for all the options I could have bought another second hand sprinter lol.
I joined this forum today so I could start to learn more about my beloved van (before I start having any problems) from the experiences and knowledge of you guys on this forum.
If youre interested I will introduce a little about my van.
Ive done about 170,000kms since 2006 and its been relatively trouble free.
Only problems Ive had are;
Fuel pump failed at around 30,000kms which caused me to break down (fixed under warranty)
I had a faulty relay for the sprintshift transmission (incorrectly diagnosed twice by the knuckleheads at Eastern Creek then on the 3rd time they finally found the problem) again I broke down (suddenly) in the middle of the road, but fixed under warranty at around 50,000kms.
Once these issues were rectified I have had no real dramas since then.
My mobile mechanic Nick services it for me every 10,000kms. I change the the oil and filter every service. Every 2nd service I change the fuel and air filters.
I changed my first set of 7 tyres (original Bridgestones minus 2 of them that were puntured) at 150,000kms and now run GT Radial Max Miler EX which seem to work well at half the price of brand new bridgestones.
Its going to take a long time to read all the reviews and information you guys have posted on here but thanks for doing so it will provide owners such as myself a great wealth of knowledge we can draw on when required.
Keep up the great work guys.
