There can be a few different causes including failed seals, an air leak, cold start injector problems and a sensor failure. Do the easy things yourself: 1. Check any rubberised fuel lines around the injection system. If they have perished and draw in air you may get the symptoms you describe. 2. Next time you crank the engine get somebody to spray a light oil such as WD40 onto/around the inlet manifold area - that's the manifold area and NOT in the air intake. If there's a faulty gasket allowing the engine to draw in air you'll see a cloud of blue smoke from the rear of the car. wD40 light spray oil .. use this or similar. 3. depending on your fuel injection system itself - the main body - there may be paper type gaskets. If these gaskets are perished it will allow air leakage which can cause starting problems. You can safely use a gasket sealant to repair/replace those type of gaskets. 4. A fuel injection system has a cold start device - it's a 'choke' that excludes most of the air until the engine has started and is warmed. It's electronically operated and is usually controlled by a sensor. Usually when a sensor fails you get a warning light on the dash. The easiest way is to give a mobile mechanic a call and ask him to run a diagnostic check. Any error codes will pinpoint the problem. It's difficult to give exact advice unless you are actually there, examining the vehicle. I would guess that the problem is one of the sensors. Fuel/air flow is controlled by sensors .. including temperature sensors

This code pertains to the turbo housing resonator which makes the turbo quiet, but is leaking air. Normally, the part is broken into to 2 parts which are glued together. This is the source of the problem, the glue usually fails and this affects the turbo pressure which is usually needed in going uphill. The part can be bought from the dealer or check your after market supplier of this turbo model. On some European cars, this P0299 fault code can also mean that the waste gate solenoid actuator is defective. As such, it could cause turbo inactivity causing the engine to loose power. To check, test the wiring of the turbo waste gate solenoid and the vacuum supply to the actuator. If OK, the most common fix is to replace the waste gate solenoid.

Some fixya user told me a w ebsite reliable-store it is very good.. I used it to repair my shredder it had some spark issue which wasn't easily fixed. you can go there and try

This is a list of Mercedes-Benz specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) or also known as engine fault codes. Please note that there are Check Engine / Service Engine / CEL fault codes which are stored in the Engine Control Unit (ECU). These codes can be read and erased with a simple OBD2 code reader, listed under yellow column below.

sprinter 2002 Go to the link I attached. Very useful All the best

Sounds like computer issues.

oil in coolant can be faulty radiator --or head gasket --being back in shop is more likely the shop didnt do the repair correctly

As you can see from this Mercedes manual page, the specified torque for "wheel nuts" (not bolts, which you probably do NOT have) is 133 ft/lbs. Many reference sources quote a range of "126-140" foot-pounds for the dually-wheel Sprinter 3500. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/805065/Mercedes-Benz-Sprinter.html?page=234 Regards, Ellsworth

That requires a special scan tool, see the dealer.

Most good shops that service air conditioning for vehicles have a little thermometer that can be inserted into the dashboard vents of a vehicle to measure the temperature of the air coming out of the vent. This will tell you if the air conditioning needs to be serviced or repaired. I do not use one of those thermometers, but if I remember correctly, they should show around 40 degrees when the AC is working right. Start by having this checked. God bless your efforts.

You need to have it diagnosed. it is having a problem with start up. Guessing it only happens when cold too? Do you let the engine go through it's cycle before starting? Let the lights do their thing and the wait to start goes out? The new diesels don't like to be ignored.

take the bolts out of the mounting plate that hold it to the engine block you do not just change the pulley on them you have to change the whole thing the spring get weak and that is why the belts squeal

Check/change pump relay.

These can actually have TWO o2 sensors (Lambda) Normally one pre Cat and on Post Cat (Cat - Catalytic converter) You will have one on the headers from the engine. then you may also have one after the Cat. Check if you also have the second, as this may the one at fault.

This is most likely the injector pump and they are almost 1000 dollars without the core charge.

check spark plugs/ignition coil

buy a new one at salvage yard
