Identifying and addressing turbocharger issues in your Mercedes Sprinter, especially the newer models from 2018 onwards, requires a keen understanding of the vehicle's advanced systems. Having worked extensively with various models over the past 15 years, I've gained a deep insight into these issues, particularly turbo faults, which can be both frustrating and challenging to resolve.
If you're noticing that your Mercedes Sprinter isn't accelerating as smoothly as usual, or there's an unusual noise coming from the engine area, you might be experiencing a turbo fault. Other key symptoms include a noticeable decrease in power, excessive smoke from the exhaust, and sometimes even a check engine light that pops up on your dashboard.
The root causes of turbo faults can vary but often include wear and tear from high mileage, insufficient lubrication or oil contamination, and damage from debris or foreign objects. Additionally, issues like faulty components in the engine’s breathing circuits or problems with the turbocharger’s wastegate sticking can also lead to turbo failures.
Repairing a turbo fault in a Mercedes Sprinter can be intricate. The process typically starts with a thorough diagnostic to confirm the fault. This involves checking the turbo system with specialized tools and software, which I've tailored over my years in the field. Once diagnosed, the repair might involve replacing the turbocharger, which can be costly, or repairing specific damaged components like bearings or seals.
However, given the complexity and cost involved in these repairs, it might be more practical to consider other options. Have you considered how feasible continuing with costly repairs is compared to acquiring a newer, more reliable vehicle?
At Vandervan, we understand how significant each decision is regarding managing fleet vehicles or personal vans. If your Mercedes Sprinter is frequently experiencing turbo issues or other faults, it might be time to consider selling it. Not only could this save you from recurring repair costs, but it also alleviates the downtime associated with these repairs.

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.
