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.

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
