Thanks Andy will try them after the weekendHi try west county commercials Bristol they are merc brakers dronsfield they are brakers for Mercedes they are on line Andy
Took van for some jobs three weeks ago, everything fine. Went to it last week started up fine. Went to it to take for MOT on thursday and it would't start or even turn over. All dash lights on , but the N for neutral didn't-- hmmm I thought so disconnected the battery for a few seconds, then reconnected it and the N came on and it started. Great I thought, but it woudln't go into gear either backwards or forwards. Stopped it ind the N disappeared again never to be seen..... I rang the AA who arrived within 1/2 hour and told him the story. He tried his OBD reader but unfortunately didn't have the correct 14 pin round connector so had to "pin" it on each terminal. He said the ECU seemed ok but the gearbox controller wasn't talking to it so the van won't start under any circumstances.What’s wrong with it ?
Thanks Kevin, the AA man checked the fuses and apart from the c/locking all were ok.Hi Dave, just a long shot we had a similar problem with a 2005 sprinter, a Mercedes specialist told us to check fuses in steering column and it was no7 or no12 blown put a new fuse in and was perfect. Worth lookin at..
I'd recommend carrying an OBD2 adapter, they're available on fleabay for about £10.
We also have an "icarsoft" reader, not expensive @ about £130/140 & I find ours to be invaluable., it has paid for itself many times over.
You can read & reset faults with one of those & its a superb bit of kit.
Do these read All codes. Engine,chassis,gearbox ect.on all models/makes.
We asked this on a Sprinter Forum, guy said use a certain item.
Checked it out and it did not cover Mercedes.
Make sure it has had the Modification carried out (or recall)
We've just found out today that Mercedes manufacture or have manufactured for them, every part for all vehicles that they have ever made.Mercedes hold good stock of parts for older vehicles, they have had everything we have needed.
At a price! I had an 85 380sl out of interest I asked the price for a new hardtop......We've just found out today that Mercedes manufacture or have manufactured for them, every part for all vehicles that they have ever made.

Thanks @TeeMyob As I said recall was terminated in 2005 according to MB.Relay for hydronic pump
Gofundme.com@TeeMyob
Checked the relay today, and it seems to work OK
Have organised for the van to be recovered to Mercedes at Carlisle on 6th May
Will have to start saving up !!!!!
Any donations gladly received.....

I can hear a humming sound, but not sure if it is the fuel pump or the gearbox one.As said earlier. Can you hear the pump run.

It is booked for recovery to M/B on 8 May, so still time to cancel if I can sort it before (unlikely, though!)

Thanks for your input, I don't hear anything (Ithink!) when I open a door but when I switch the ign on I hear a buzzing noise, sounds like it comes from the passenger side , presumably under bonnet as it is quiet, so I thought fuel pump? It stops after a few seconds, before switching off....When you open a cab door , you should hear the hyd pump run for a few seconds.
Also when ignition on, you will hear the relay on steering column click in and out, quite often.
When it does this, the pump should work.
Just trying to help.
It's just like the thing. As said just changed ours, Thought about keeping the old unit, get the motor rewound.
But then thought , who would need one....last words?

Not sure.
Ours will work when you open a door. Suppose it could be a Buzz sound.
If it is the pump running, then at least one expensive part off list.
As said there is also a low and high pressure valves to check.
But saying all that, once it is plugged in and codes checked, then it's all speculative.
Gearbox ECU, if its faulty, think they need to come from Germany as all linked to specific veh Vin.
Then needs to be linked onto system so they all talk to each other.
Engine ecu
Gearbox ecu
Immobilize
Key chip
Ign ring
Keep updating.
