I've got a problem with my 2007 Sprinter 311 CDI, it smokes like hell on tickover (white smoke) which clears within 200 yards once mobile and doesn't smoke if I keep the revs up. So far I've had the injectors tested professionally (fine) , repaired a cracked exhaust flexible joint and replaced...

I'm pretty certain I've got one or more dribbling injectors on my 2007 311 CDI, they're the Bosch Piezo type.. Symptoms are - rough idle when hot (as though it were running on 3.5 cylinders or imagine putting the choke on a hot petrol engine), very smoky at idle, clears when under way after...

I've got very similar problems, 2007 311 CDI with 150k Miles. Once the engine is up to temperature it goes into a very rough lumpy idle and starts blowing white smoke out of the exhaust, this usually clears within 30 seconds of setting off and revving above 2500rpm. Most of the time the...

I've spoken to the guy who did the code reading, he says multiple codes but the main one to identify the problem was the lift pump failure, I'm trying to source a replacement but have 2 part numbers, A 6110900250 or 6110900350, can anyone with access to a parts catalogue confirm that the latter...

Gents My 2004 Sprinter 311 died on me on Friday, just cut out when doing about 45mph. Eventually restarted but as soon as I touched the throttle it would die again and take ages to restart so I set off home (luckily mostly flat or downhill) with it on idle (nice & torquey at 700rpm...

Hmmm.... some food for thought Tyre pressures, I've just set them as per the plate under the passenger seat (41 & 65), the fronts were over 50 when I checked them, rears I've no idea, I couldn't see the gauge on the garage machine from where I was stood but I'm guessing they were too low 'cos...

Gents I don't know if this is the correct forum for this question but seeing as I'm a member I'll give it a try? After a period of unemployment, the C32 has had to go (boohoo, hope Darren from Hampshire enjoys it) and I'm now setting up on my own and have bought a LWB Sprinter 311 Luton...

The people who are currently buying at the bottom of the market do so for a reason, they can't finance anything better, so how are they expected to finance a battery change? In my opinion, without some evidence that a used Tesla or whatever has been subjected to a recent battery change or at...

Cheers Justin Can you tell me whereabouts this valve lives or what it looks like? Max

Quick edit Tried a different, brand new relay, the voltage at the wires is now 12.5 which drops to as near zero as makes no difference once the cold start system shuts down, still can't get the pump to run so my only idea is the startup current for the pump motor must be too high?

I thought I'd investigate things further as I've now got 2 pumps, neither of which is working right? .... Wrong! Put a motorbike battery across the pump terminals and both run fine, connect an ammeter in and they both show as drawing 0.5 amps, not excessive at all. With the engine cold and...

Hi guys I've recently replaced the dodgy air pump on my C32 with a replacement off ebay (yes I fitted a new relay as well) I decided to play with the old one to see what was wrong so took the filter end cap off, lo and behold the impellor spins freely so I connected a 12v power supply to...

Yeah you're right, the ECU has been returned to normal state Spoke to the gearbox guy today and he's fitted another converter and another radiator just in case it was a repeat of the glycol problem (at his own cost), he reckons it's very difficult to check for glycol in new oil so replaced the...

Latest update from the gearbox guy:- He's fitted a new torque converter solenoid to no effect so took the car to another oufit who have installed the software upgrade, to no effect so they "frigged" the gearbox ECU to lock the converter at all times, after this the car drove perfectly so the...

The torque convertor is a recon, by the sound of things it's probably a bad un, waiting to hear back from the gearox guy with my fingers crossed.

The car is now back with the gearbox specialist, he won't commit to a diagnosis until he's had a play with it, fingers crossed I'll get to find out midweek and get the car back by friday.

Thats what I suspected (and was dreading) will contact the guy who did the work tomorrow and get it booked in again. The invoice for the work he has already carried out clearly states New Radiator Torque Convertor Electric pack & wiring kit G/box oil & filter & antifreeze Over £1100...

Thanks for the welcome guys I'd thought about another 190 but after 10 years and over 120k miles in them it was time for a change, the C36-43 range don't do it for me, I never really liked the look of 202's and the asking price for v good low mileage E500's is a wee bit out of my range. I'd...

Hi all I'm new here, Max 46yo from Cumbria, previous owner of 2 190 Cosworths, a gold H plater that I owned from 1999 to 2006 and took from 95k to 180k without major issues then a black J plater from Aug 2006 and from 56k to 82k which was stolen and trashed the night of the huge storm we had...
