My 2001 Sprinter broke down and oil came up the dipstick and emptyed the engine. We took it to a professional engine building company who upon taking the engine apart ahve discovered all 5 pistons are cracked and piston number one has cracked so badly that there is a hole hence the ooil pressure in the crank forcing the dipstick out. The van has done only 105k miles and the engine apart from the pistons is in really good condition. No other damage whatsoever. I raed somewhere that there have been gudgeon pin problems causing weakness? Can anybody help please??
