If you own a Mercedes Sprinter from the 2006 to 2018 model years, you may be aware of the common issue with turbo faults. With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a master tech mechanic, I've seen my fair share of these issues. Let’s delve deeper into what causes these faults, typical signs to look out for, and the standard repair process.
The Mercedes Sprinter's turbo system is crucial for enhancing engine efficiency and performance by forcing extra compressed air into the combustion chamber. However, several factors can lead to its malfunction. These often include:
Wear and Tear: General degradation over time due to high mileage or poor maintenance can lead to failures.
Clogged or Damaged Turbocharger: Foreign particles or oil residues can clog or damage the turbocharger, leading to impaired functionality.
Exhaust Issues: Problems in the exhaust system, like leaks or blockages, can impact turbo performance.
When the turbo encounters problems, the symptoms can be quite conspicuous. Decreased engine power, excessive exhaust smoke, abnormal noises from the turbo area, and increased oil consumption are telltale signs. Furthermore, the engine’s warning lights might illuminate, indicating the need for immediate attention.
Repairing a turbo fault involves diagnosing the exact cause of the issue, which typically requires a skilled technician and specific diagnostic tools. Once identified, the repair might range from replacing components like hoses or seals to a complete turbo replacement. Depending on the severity, this can be both time-consuming and costly.
Considering the complexity and potential high costs of repairing a Mercedes Sprinter turbo fault, you might wonder if keeping the van is your best option. Have you thought about selling your vehicle instead? At Vandervan, we offer a swift and straightforward service to purchase your van.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
