Turbo Resonator/Intercooler Removal and Adjustment (2007-2010 Mercedes Sprinter)

- In this video, Mike shows you how to adjust your turbo resonator and intercooler pipes on your NCV3 (2008-2010) Sprinter Van. If you have excessive back-pressure or tired engine mounts, you may find the resonator separates from the metal outlet pipe. This can send your van into limp mode and even be a source of confusion!
I recommend performing a manual DPF regeneration after you adjust everything, as excessive back pressure may be the root reason why the resonator blew apart in the first place.

Just wanted to say thanks for the video. My resonator separated and was causing issues took it off cleaned it and put it back together with tight seal. got it resolved with help from your video
Thank you for this video, I lost my turbo on a road trip 2 days ago and limped 250 miles home. The previous owner had made a mess of trying to fix it before, thanks to your video I managed to find the faults, put it back together, Solve my oily leak too as the rubber ring had moved and I’ve bent the the brace forward to hold the alloy tubing in place. I’ll order both parts as they are damaged but I’ve just went a drive and it all held in place! Regards from Scotland !👌
Exactly like my van. Excellent video. Not seated properly and causing errors like over boost.
I literally just discovered this problem on my van and had to identify the part being unfamiliar with turbo. I noticed it when I had the air box off. Your video was the first thing to come up. I live in St Pete. I’ll get a new one tomorrow. The seal on mine is all separated. At least I know how to repair it thanks to you! 🤙🏼
St. Pete Florida? Are you coming to the Sprinter meet-ups near Deland? Two nights of forest group camping with other Sprinters Oct 28-30. Boo-n-Brew is our first event*. Video, tickets and details at floridavanman.com/
@@FloridaVanMan I would have but I’m going to be out of town. I literally just found out about it looking at your website.
@@GrahamCam Save the dates December 7th-14th for our bigger event with live music, comedian, workshops, discussion groups and so much more. Same location but a full week.
2:42 at this point it looks like I see residue from an injector leak (Black Death). Would have been a good time to take that cover off over the injectors and inspect
Greaty video, thank you for the information!
Thanks for this! My resonator doesn't appear to be seated properly either. I love the 5/16" trick too
Really helpful. My turbo res. (MB 2010) and intake have been separating from each other and the turbo for almost a year. I tried putting it all together like the video shows but the res. doesn't seat completely and I can't find the third nut on the down-tube to better adjust it. The only solution I've come up with thus far are two hose clamps, one to prevent the res. gasket from deforming past its' stops on the res. and another diagonally between the intake pipe and res. to hold them together.
hi in addition to the 2 green o rings I had a metal washer with a flange Do you know which socket this comes from Thanks
Very good ideo
Dam thought this would fix my problem but it just keep popping off every time I re seat it.
(09 2500 sprinter, work issued) Had my glo plugs replaced at the mechanic. Before they were replaced, I heard 90% engine and 10% turbo. After plug change out, I hear so much whoosh boost noise/air now. And the connection below the resonator has oil all over it. Boss said its okay lol.
This is amazing, thank you!
At 3:37 in I see there is no front-of-vehicle or driver's side headlight assembly on the van, is this repair possible without removing those from the vehicle first or do they just happen to be off on this particular Sprinter? Thank in advance!
We were doing other things to the van and finding the best way to address this problem with the resonator popping loose.
On my 2007 Sprinter with 3.0 ltr turbo diesel, my mechanic replaced both intake manifolds. Afterwards, the van has a very loud high pitched wislting noise that gets louder on acceleration with engine speed. He loooke all over for air leaks and couldn't find any (assuming he knows). Any suggestions?
I use a stethoscope with the thumper cut off, but any few feet length of small hose will help listen in very small areas. A whistle will be easy to find, but be careful because if it is blowing it can blow real hard into your ear. If it is a sucking leak it will be harder to find, but I bet you will find it at the exhaust manifold, not the intakes. The 3.0 is different from my vans so I'm not real familiar with them.
You have lovely hands xxxxxx
I bet you get that a lot.
Hi I see that the new resonator part used in the 2008's has been upgraded 4 times and previous versions have been discontinued by Mercedes Benz, would it be feasible to just replace the whole unit, the new replacement cost $107.00 from Euro parts? I am having the same issues. As a solo cross country driver I am trying to err on the side of caution and prevent future issues.
I think that would be helpful, reducing the risk of this problem. But I don't have this van any more.
So, these things make turbos quieter? Do they increase efficiency or something? What are the benefits? Cheers my dears
They're supposed to make the turbos quieter, I'm not so sure no the benefits but no delete exists for this generation Sprinter. The seams are not as problematic as they are on our USA T1Ns.
@@FloridaVanMan Neither of my vans have them., I wonder if it's an American or 5 cylinder thing? Just seems a bit odd putting something on a vehicle you don't really need, I love the sound of my turbo, it's music to my ears. Take care you two
The turbo resonator is a sound muffler. We replace them in our T1N's with aluminum pipe and I can't hear any difference. This van is an '08 and we have not found an aluminum replacement, but it seems the original resonators don't have the same common problem as the T1N's have.
@@zambotv8150 What van do you have, do you have pictures or vid of the UK non resonator set up, can you ship me one to the USA.
@@FloridaVanMan When you replaced them with aluminium pipe, did you have to go to a pro to reset or reprogram the ECU?
nice video.....do you have one to repair an oil cooler on 3.0 2008 sprinter 2500. this would allow me to learn how to do a turbo job and amongst other things....and keep it away from the dealer..would definitely make a good donation for this one....thanks ahead of time......
Sorry, we don't have an '08 any more.
what you think of resonator delete?
I don't think that is an option for this van. The 2004-2006 North American version has a plastic resonator that can be replaced with aluminum straight pipe. It works wonderfully and I don't often notice any change in sound.
Has anyone made resonator delete pipe for this please give me link to it
No it doesn’t exist for this model. On this model, the resonator seams blowing apart is not the issue. The issue is it coming apart due to pressure and no brackets to hold it together. I bet you could bring over the newer charge air pipes that have holding brackets on them.
@@FloridaVanMan the new pipe with brackets you have a part nr ? Mine keeps blowing off after new seals + a lot of smoke
@@mitchbm693 I don't think replacing the pipe will help. What eventually fixed this van in the video, I believe, was clearing a clogged DPF.
@@FloridaVanMan what is the dpi.
@@jddonnelly1279 DPF = Diesel Particulate Filter. dpi is new to me unless going back to printer's "dot per inch".
