Let's see...360 miles at 30 mph lol

Thanks for that tip...it was intermittent, there were 4 lights on, cleared and road tested and did not return - heard on sprinter-source the tailights can cause that, there is a bulb missing...I watched the transmission shaft sensors drop to zero and fault on the scanner when in drive, that and...

Appears to be the hot water recirculation, I don't see exhaust or fuel line, it is behind the left headlight (edit: found a baby exhaust pipe in the front of fender WOOHOO espar!) I kind o got off topic, tested Tcm with scan tool, shifter works properly but speed sensors in transmission read 0...

I have to add the Autel Maxidas DS 708, accessed all my modules and allowed testing on my 2005...cleared all codes...I'll post on the iCarsoft MBII when I get my hands on one

Thanks, saved me the time to find it again...had some experience with the Autel Maxidas DS708 today, it indeed communicates with the 2005 canbus/eobd2 interface and clears all codes...would not fix my trans issue (problem exists immediately on turning key) but I tested shifter functions in real...

I know I need one, not sure whether it matters to get the cheap or good dipstick. Good to know they can be reliable - as for seats, I drove it home and didn't want to get back in my Ram Van, it's down to the metal on the drivers side :D

Me either, but thank you for answering...the Autel Maxidas DS708 is a Chinese scan tool that supposedly works with just about any brand, but I can't get a firm answer in the coverage tables

Trying to communicate with a 2005 Sprinter (permanent limp mode transmission) i can't find a reasonably priced tool, the old DRB 3 chrysler scan tool goes for thousands when I see one...

Icarsoft MBII MERCEDES BENZ SPRINTER Diagnostic Scanner Tool SRS ABS ENGINE iCarsoft MBII i980 Says that it will communicate with all Sprinter modules and according to sprinter-source will clear the dreaded transmission permanent limp mode... No relearn or adaptive functions but it's 169.00...

Hi and thanks for replying...I read somewhere that you could use actual expenses or a simplified per mile deduction, which if I was allowed to use it, would eliminate the need for me to organize receipts and calculate expenses. It would also in my case make a bigger return as each 100 percent...

You gave me enough to go on, thanks! I'll figure it out when I get back up there

Yep. Had to zoom in on owners manual pdf, got an old blackberry..."Auxiliary Heater" now I'm really happy, I've been too cheap to idle for 10 years now :D thanks guys, I had no idea when I bought it! Why is it limited to 2 hours I wonder? (explains diesel smell from front I hit all the buttons...

Thank you...its 45 min away, got free storage and use of shop...was going by memory and it was a larger square on center console down low with digital readout flashing like an unset clock...It'd be awesome if I got a free diesel heater with that van :D

Are you telling me i've got an Espar in here or something? I'm trying to look it up but I'm not getting the point of if it's that or this hot water coolant recirculation thingy

There's an LED display on my console, bottom left, that's flashing at me with buttons...does that mean I've got an aux heater or constant RPM switch? :confused2:

Thank you...my first sprinter, steep learning curve...what are the frickin buttons on the console for!?!

Thanks I'm starting there I haven't even mentioned the brake, esp, abs, and wheel lights on, you're lucky you didn't take that one in - they'll tell you it's every module and sensor on the van...retired mechanic who kept his DS 708 lending it to me tomorrow :grinning:

If you have no debt it can be done. As cheap a vehicle a you're comfortable with, try to find out company that won't force you to buy after its 5 years old; I'm surviving by taking local courier type work as well; I don't wait around after a drop, but deadhead to the next available run/good...

Rust? RUST!?! Now this is rust :D Last 2 are sparkplugs in case it's not clear... Coming soon...valve body/wiring repair, egr delete tune and cheapest tool that can talk to TCM... (EDIT: Note to carrier...no I am NOT currently driving that with your name on the door...it was the one...

It's home! What a gawdaful ride that was in second gear PLUS limp mode from stuck egr...6 hours to go 120 miles through Hamilton and Toronto at max 30 mph! On the positive side no leaks, temp. stayed dead on 80c at 3000 rpm and only used an eighth of a tank...
