Hi can anyone help please, I have motorhome on the 416 sprinter chassis 2.7 cdi turbo diesel 156bhp. While we were away the turbo seemed to cut out and the van was struggling to pull up hill.
After we had parked up for half an hour I started the engine and the turbo was working again, I could tell because the van was pulling well and I could also hear the whistling sound at it went through the gears. I was a happy man.
Then just before we arrived home this afternoon it cut out again, so I pulled into a layby turned the engine off for 15 seconds then on again and it worked:Angry:
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? And is it going to lead to something major
Thanks Mike.
Also when I turn the engine of,say at the petrol station, it sometimes won't start. Just keeps turning over, so I turn the ignition off then on and it starts. Anyone else had these problems
Thanks Mike
