#1238 of 1262 glow plugs by cornjolio Jan 13, 2009 (1:37 pm)
I brought my truck into a sprinter dealer. I believe my stuck glow plug was cross threaded and not just 'stuck'. They still haven't repaired it yet and I don't believe they can fix it properly anyway.. I am selling the POS.

Replying to: cornjolio (Jan 13, 2009 1:37 pm) Ugh. Plug in my van is "melted". Still not fixed- in the shop since Dec. 24. I was going to buy a second one for the business, but now I'm thinking selling this one might be the only way to avoid buying a second one without getting a second one.

Replying to: ernstck (Jan 15, 2009 5:48 pm) A vehicle this rare, with parts and expertise expensive, rare or both, would behoove the owner to get the 7 year 100K mile factory warranty.

Replying to: ernstck (Jan 15, 2009 5:48 pm) Mercedes mechanic would probably do a better job than either a dodge or freightliner mechanic.

Replying to: punter1 (Feb 02, 2009 6:50 pm) according to my warranty book, I have a 7 yr, 70,000mi. warranty. Chrysler says the plugs aren't part of it. At this point, I'm guessing the owners of Chrysler-Cerberus- and isn't that an apt name- aren't planning to pay out any warranty money.      I got the truck back on the 20th of Jan. Anybody want to guess what it cost?   I agree about the mechanic. My thought had been that the work would have to be done by the dealer to be under warranty. I have a local mechanic who has worked on it and been fair and timely. I run a plumbing business, and not having the van for nearly a month was a real killer.

Replying to: ernstck (Feb 04, 2009 4:14 pm) GP's are $12 each at my local dealer, and take about 5 minutes each to replace with common tools. Would you pay someone to change your oil or replace a bulb? I had #1 and 4 burn out, which also blew the GP relay. Dealer blamed it on water in fuel. I actually had two burned out GP's when I still had a warranty, and the dealer replaced them under warranty. I bought the van used in another State, and that didn't matter. I can highly recommend Victory Auto World in Petaluma CA.

Replying to: ernstck (Feb 04, 2009 4:14 pm) suggest you inquire a little deeper as to glow plug warranty, it's two way Bosch Warranty is applicable as to the original warranty separate to Chrysler.  Glow plug have a use by limit 100 thousand miles or five years which ever comes first. therefore a seven year warranty on drive trains by Chrysler warranty is void as Glow Plugs and injectors are not to be included with the actual drive-train warranty.  Warranty replacement is dependent on the actual cause of failure but it's a Grey area as to who is responsible towards warranty replacements. It's contentious.

2010 sprinter tested at 25mpg by fleetnews. It says 31mpg in article but American gallon is .83 of British gallon.   http://www.fleetnews.co.uk/RoadTests/story/Mercedes-Benz-Euro-5-Sprinter/2906866- 12   This is with the new 4 cylinder. Whether Dodge is going to carry the 2010 or include the 4 cylinder , who knows.   .
