Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to perform a mid-cycle facelift for their first compact crossover, the GLA. I will have to install the kit first to be able to give you a first hand account, but this won't happen for a while. While you’re here, take a test drive in as many models as you would like, and let our financing department work out the details. The bed is large and cozy, and it will be able to accept a lot of load, but this won’t take anything of that ‘Mercedes’ feel. The ladder rack will be on top of the van, and out in the harsh weather a lot of the time when you are out on projects. Features- The sprinter offers two body styles- one with a 144-in wheelbase and one with 170-in, it also offers two roof sizes- standard or top. Size-wise, customers can select from two body types (enclosed van or cab-chassis), two roof heights (standard- and high-roof), and two wheel-bases (mid- and long-wheelbase) which in turn give the choice of two different body lengths.
Having rectified many ‘chuffing’ injectors and dealt with the famed ‘black-death’ on many sprinter engines and its close derivatives used across the complete range of Mercedes Diesel vehicles, I can honestly say that the hold down mechanism used to secure the injector in the head is definitely the engines number one Achilles heel. If the leaking injector is not obvious, then clean down the area with Gunk or other degreaser and dry off the area (engine off of course) completely. I am afraid that a single 6mm cap head pin used on one edge of a single steel injector clamp, tapped into an aluminium head is just engineering madness from a commercial maintenance point of view. If the ‘chuffing’ has been noticed early on, none or very few ‘black death’ carbon deposits will be seen, just wetness from ejected diesel resulting from the failing combustion process forced up around the leaking injector out to atmosphere on the cylinder head. If carbon deposits are present then they will have to be completely cleared and chipped away with a blunt screwdriver/scraper and vacuumed away as you go.
Once identified the work can begin - Run the engine until nice and warm then turn it off and remove the keys. You can rest assured knowing that you're purchasing directly from experts and engineers, not just resellers or copy-cat companies that use low quality materials in their products. The Sprinter Van has provided smaller transit carriers an alternative to purchasing a full size bus. Starting a bus company is an expensive venture and the high cost of maintenance can dictate the direction of the company. Although the full pricing will be known closer to the end of the year, we can state the starting price. The Sprinter Van has seen continual use and success since its introduction in 1995. The simplicity of what normally constitutes a van can hardly apply to the Sprinter which is constantly undergoing improvements. Surfaces such as snow, ice, and mud often limit the operational capacity of vehicles, and the clever all-wheel drive system fitted to the Sprinter 4×4 delivers substantially improved handling and traction in such poor road conditions, thereby extending the already-impressive capabilities of the award-winning Sprinter.
Under these surface conditions, Mercedes-Benz all-wheel drive delivers substantially improved traction and handling. All models from the Sprinter 4×4 range feature selectable all-wheel drive, allowing the driver to engage drive to all four wheels at the touch of a button, without the need for any manual activation. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van is the current incarnation of a long line of heavy and medium duty Mercedes-Benz Diesel work vans. The calculator defaults to Real MPG, current fuel prices and 10,000 annual miles. It's really disheartening to watch your fuel efficiency drop consistently - those high-50 numbers became 40s with a quickness. Start the engine and watch for the darkening/spotting of the brown paper with diesel spray, this will indicate quite clearly where the problem lies. Using 2 inch strips of old brown paper cut from the envelopes of your unpaid bills (joke) make hollow tubes and wrap them around the injectors, fastening the ends together with a paper clip.
