thanks for the refresher of what a PAIN it is to "peel away" the front, to make access easier to engine front........

I wish you would have titled it something like - “Five Minute Disassembly of T1N Sprinter Front End.” I also am going to have some of the younger guys who I am trying to teach to repair their own vehicles watch this video. I want them to see that taking apart their own vehicle is easy; just as easy as what you did there. I helped a young guy who had crunched up the front of his Nissan. He was so apprehensive, as most people would be, because we were pulling apart the front end to the point where it looked like it belonged in the junkyard - like this video. Hood, fender, lights bumper & supports, grill, everything was gone. BUT, nuts, bolts, screws, clips, pins, and time. That’s all it takes. That’s why I would have liked the title to reflect this - “Five Minute Disassembly of T1N Sprinter Front End.”

Hey Serj, I have a 2001 T1N Dodge Sprinter and something is causing a battery drain. Is this a common issue on the Sprinters? Can you make a video on how to find what's causing the battery drain? I have to drive the truck every 2 days or it won't have any juice left 😔

its possible the voltage regulator has a small leak. had the same issue, changing takes about 15 minutes cost max 50 dollar. once the engine started all voltages were fine but with age these voltage regulators can have a small electrical leak in them so it drains your battery when engine is off.

@@ZimaletaMotors well it's either a front end teardown or a radiator removal.

It would be 2.5 minutes if he brought the tool box closer

Why do people exaggerate on the time it takes to do a job it is difficult for the mechanics who make a living doing this because the customer really thinks it takes 5 minutes. You can obviously see from the video the time laps and the speed of the guys quick movements. I thank you for the info but don't exaggerate on the time

Lol your absolutely right, it is a time laps probably 2x speed my editor does not go faster then that, all cars are different, what tools you use plays a big part, I use impact tools and it’s really fast to work with them, also preparation is key, I get all so let’s ready and waiting on the table that’s off camera, if you run into rusted or broken bolt issues it will take much much longer, mechanics have a set time that is in the All data book, and they must charge that price, because overhead costs, and expensive insurance plus knowledge from College, expensive tools and scan tools, shop rental, paying employees and at the end of the day you must have enough to stay profitable in business to pay all the bills, and most people don’t think about that

Serj you need something different next time instead of a mercedes

Hehe well it’s not the fact that it’s Mercedes, but Mercedes was making this sense 1996, they were the only once with high roof which make them special, but we just started getting them in 2001 I believe, but I personally had 2002 before so I assume there was 2001-2003 but now I have 2006, I actually really like them my self, but now you have many choices like Ford Transit and Dodge promaster in Gas models which have less problems
