Thanks I appreciate it, yes here it is Step-by-Step Sprinter Van Oil Change Guide kzread.info/dash/bejne/kW2Bk7N6fKq3p9o.html Good luck!

Did the car raise EGR fault code? My 3.0 Sprinter lacks power in cold weather when the engine is cold. No error codes. The workshop couldn't find a thing. EGR is one culprit I'm suspecting, might open it up before next winter.

I did not get a CEL for it, I started noticing some power loss and shuttering and knowing the egr is a known problem I just cleaned it and it made all the difference, just moved to colorado from virginia this spring and the van did great during the 1700 mile trip west

Nice video, thanks. Can you remove the coolant hoses without coolant spilling everywhere? It seems like it would be a lot easier to clean the EGR outside the engine bay.

Thank you, you could certainly clamp off both the hoses and then you would just loose a cup or two of coolant, but honestly it was pretty easy to just keep it intact, kind of hard to film but in practice it wasn’t bad to do, I did not find myself saying man this would have been a whole lot easier if i just took it out, so to me i guess it was simple enough, i am not sure how much would drain if you just disconnected them but then you have to deal with coolant on the engine and on the ground etc. I guess its a pick your poison kinda process. Hope that helped. Thanks again for watching

This video helped a ton! I’m still dealing with the problem but it’s not as frequent. For me it happened when I would try to goose it going up a grade. Perhaps I just need to clean it a bit better?

Excellent glad it helped, if your still seeing issues i would clean it again and just make sure the valve operates easily, meaning it snaps back into place after rotating it

this is a v-6 2021 4 cylinder is in the back driver side us version hard to get to . look up the video on right side drive lot easer than left drive.

Yes this video is for the v6 diesel. The 4 cyl turbo should not have the same sooting issues based on its improved design

At what interval would you recommend doing this?

@ramblingambition

I think every 30k depending on how much idling or city start stop traffic your in a little earlier like 20k if you idle alot and are in the city mostly and maybe stretch to 40 if your all highway or tow, what you dont want is it to cause an issue and for how long it takes to clean it my plan is every 25k, cheap insurance to make sure it performs like it should

@perritomanoso3008 I am not familiar with the new 4 cylinder and I think its way to early in the use of the motor to determine if it will have the same issues as the 6 cyl. The tried and true 6 cyl motor has been around for decades and very little tech has impacted its use, hopefully with the new engineering that went into the new motor egr build up issues will be resolved, i would think if it becomes an issue someone will start posting how to clean it, in the mean time drive on and enjoy

@ramblingambition

Ай бұрын

@michaelcarman-yv9tm if you can get to it easily, it should come out and it just needs to be cleaned real good with parts or carb cleaner, just get the gaskets for it, black smoke under acceleration means you have excess fuel that isnt getting burned off not sure if the egr is causing that though, have you noticed your fuel mileage is bad and lack of power?

@@ramblingambition actually my mpg is 25 consistently. thanks for your response. she goes into limp mode sometimes. i am replacing the tranny electronics board to see if that helps the limp thing. i've seen that an air filter or egr can cause the black smoke. but she runs real nice usually. i will try cleaning the egr as you say. thanks again
