Today was the start of our family vacation.
We were travelling in B.C. east on the #3 Hwy. when our 2004 156WB Sprinter with 78,000miles on it lost almost all power travelling up to Manning Park.
We pulled over and checked as many things as we could. Engine Temp. Oil levels. Looked for leaks or any other visual problems....nothing. The only thing we could find is an exhaust leak where there was a joint and another where they put in flex pipe when we had the exhaust replaced.
So we did a 180 and limped back doing 10kmh on the uphills and as much as 80hmh on the downhills with a tail wind.
Very little throttle response.
So my question to the forum and I would appreciate advice on is where do I start looking for the source of this really-really poorly timing failure?
I should note that the factory Turbo Resonator has been replaced early in my ownership.
Do I start by looking for the "Black Death"?
Transmission?
Turbo?
Something else?
Thanks for the advice.
