sunroof by sprintergod

I have a customer attempting to change his fixed sunroof to a manual sunroof on his 2005 sprinter. I have brought in for him the sunroof handle and am probably need to bring in the plate to mount it.
 
I am wondering if anybody has attempted this yet and if so, I am on the right path to make this work?

loud groaning when you turn on front A/C by sarrerab

I cannot get our dealer to figure out this issue because it doesn't consistently repeat itself. When I turn on the car and the A/C is off and I flip the switch, it makes a horrible awful groaning noise with vibration right below the center console. A/C kicks on fine. Any ideas so that I can tell the dealer what to fix because it does not come up in diagnostics.

sarrerab, can you try to isolate the problem? See if the blower fan is causing this. Without the A/C on, try different fan speeds to see if the blower fan is causing it. My blower fan failed, and vibrated the center floor area on speeds 3 and 4. 1 and 2 would work ok. Is your Sprinter equipped with rear A/C? When you flip the switch, is this for the front or rear A/C. If it's rear AC, most likely the belt is slipping - it has its own belt. Another great site for help is the Sprinter forum at sprinter-source.com.

Purchase of a 2006 Sprinter by russ457

I am thinking of purchasing a 2006 Sprinter Van that has been modified to act as a mobile office. It has the MB diesel engine with 27K miles. From this site it appears as though I should RUN from this van. It appears the mileage is not what they say (25 mpg) and the maintenance is very steep. I do like the van but if it is not going to be cost effective, then I shall just pass. Looking for others input. I have a chevy van with 75K miles on it and it has never had a problem..(knock on wood). Seem like I should just modify the van I have now...just want to hear from others who own Sprinters and their input. Thanks in advance

I traded in a 2003 Ford E250 van for an 06 Sprinter back in Jan. 06. This is the best decision I have ever made for several reasons. (1) I knew that the Dodge dealers claim of 660 miles/tank is pure horse hockey, however I am currently getting 450- 500 miles/tank, with a fully stocked van for Electrical construction. Most of my traveling is around town, and the 03 Ford, with the same load and driving habits maxxed out at 300-- not 301, 300 miles/tank. (2) I can basically fit anything in the Sprinter, including a 28' extension ladder. I can also stand up (hunched over) in the back. Believe me-- the wear and tear on your knees from being in a normal van is alone worth the cost of a Sprinter. (3) Ok --diesel costs more-- my last fill-up cost about $120 (23 gal $5.19). The time previous to that was about two weeks. The Ford used to take between $85 & $100 every FOUR days!!!! (This is when you could get gas 2.99- 3.19 / gallon, in 2005). (4) I have had the truck long enough that it brought me business-- as a novelty with customers, or through other contractors who would ask me about the truck. (5) 10K oil change intervals... my last cost $120 with full synthetic oil. My Ford would have had three $60 changes in the same period.
 I have not had any problems mechanically with the Sprinter, knock wood, and just hit 22,000 miles. If I did however, I would not go to Dodge. I am not comfortable with their service people---but I also have a Toyota and wouldn't go to Toyota service either.
I would not hesitate to buy these trucks--- they are trucks, not vans. The ride isn't as comfortable as the Ford was-- but the benefits I have received are definitely worth it.
