Some very helpful info, thanks everyone, and I'm reading the blog right now. The Big Buddy was actually the heater I was looking at :)

You know, the little heaters made for a tent that run off the small disposable propane bottles? Does anyone use them? What are the pros and cons? Does it heat your vehicle well and is it safe? Thanks for all feedback!

It's got all the typical rust spots that Sprinter's can't seem to avoid, I thought I could get in the 8-9 grand range for it but I'm seeing newer Sprinters with less mileage than mine all over Craigslist for 8 grand so maybe not.

Unless I've just totally lost my mind I can't seem to find it anywhere on kbb.com or any of the other valuation sites, except edmunds.com which seems way off to me. I'm trying to find a resale value for my 2003 Sprinter with the 158" wheelbase and 250,000 miles on it. Where is a good place to...

Thank you so much gresytshirt, you always give such great info. And thank you T270_Dreamin, I'm gonna find a Napa first thing in the morning and buy a bottle to try it out!

It would be nice if that is what it is. Can you use those injector cleaners in a Sprinter? I've heard a few horror stories.

Greasytshirt no overheating at all, no real loss of power, and no smoke. I do notice a couple time there is a little hesitation in the acceleration going uphill, like it cuts in and out, but then it stops. How bad of a repair is a weak cylinder?

Always get good advice from this forum so I'll try again. My 2003 Sprinter with 250,000 miles is vibrating while idling. When I get up to speed I don't notice the vibration anymore, and it doesn't vibrate as bad during idling after it has been running a bit. The first thing I thought was the...

It's a 2003 by the way. Unfortunately I can't take it anywhere else at this point as it's still at the Freightliner in South Carolina. I'm gonna call them and mention the resonator in the piping and see if they considered that. I know I'm far from an expert, but it amazes me that a...

The mass air flow sensor was actually replaced about a year ago. It didn't go into limp mode, I've had that happen before. It's similar to when a fuel filter gets clogged but that was replaced.

That's possible in my other thread you can see I just had to replace my turbo.

That's the weird thing, the check engine light never came on and the only codes were stored codes from previous issues.

By the way they just replaced the turbo, so there still would be a leak?

Thank you Dan, it's a 2003.

I must be cursed cause this **** Sprinter keeps breaking down. So did a run to South Carolina, started losing power on the way. Nothing really bad, I had it on cruise control and all of a sudden the cruise shut itself off. Got it back up to speed and tested cruise, it worked again. But every...

When I previously replaced it the part was still under warranty from when the previous owner I bought it from replaced it, so it was free. So that would be 3 times in however many years.

I have to grab my invoice and check, but if I recall correctly there was only an hour of labor, and most of the cost was in the part. geo thanks for the advice, I am sending you a PM now! :)

Hello all, so I recently replaced my EGR valve and was charged $1800, but I did some research online and several sites are telling me it should be a $700 repair. Did I get ripped off? I have a 2003 Sprinter. Also I have replaced my EGR valve twice in 2 years. I rarely ever idle my Sprinter...

Thanks Turtle, that helps a lot!

I am definitely gonna replace it eventually, but for now I just put a bunch of money in it and need to get some more out of it. Thanks for answers so far, has anyone else had to have this done?
