onecal Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Ah OK Yes I know your engine quite well, It's the older model and not the OM 642. 6 cylinder we were referring to in previous posts. Yes your 5 cylinder is a very good engine capable of very high mileage with proper maintenance and that model is not that difficult either to remove the battery from the sprinter model with a little care and know how. Not great ergonomics though where the battery is situated especially within the A Class It's such a pity the top end servicing of the A Class can be so difficult and resulting in extra high costs because of poor aces and I am informed not just down to Hymer or indeed Merc' engine models Thank you for your update Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecal Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Hi All Just an update , all six heater plugs replaced (easy removal, none stuck) and heater module and of course red turbine seal (very important , do not skimp on this) plus fuel filter . The job was not that difficult ,after the removal of the letterbox bonnet which gave very little extra room but just enough. Yes about 2 hours extra over the normal Sprinter due to the poor access . Full reset on diagnostic and all working well for their new adventure this year abroad . Looks like the may keep it for a while yet. Thanks to everyone for their input and advice , It helped and was interesting to get all your views . Regards Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
