#953 of 1262 Concern over winter use by davenissen Jan 04, 2007 (9:06 pm)
Hello. I need advise. I am thinking about buying a new Sprinter (Roadtrek) and would like to use it in the winter. However I understand that the water lines will freeze and, as a result, you cannot use the water lines in below freezing temps but instead must carry water separately inside and use it for toilet flushing, etc. Is that true? Is there anyway to winterize a Sprinter for winter use? Any practical suggestions/tips on how to function in a Sprinter in below freezing temperatures would be appreciated. Thank for all the help.

Replying to: davenissen (Jan 04, 2007 9:06 pm) davenissen I would think if your in total frozen perimeters the van would not get out of park because the wheels would be in spin or the trans would refuse to move from park because the air temp sensor won't wake up. All jokes aside any anti freeze in the water lines would prevent the issue your thinking about! Order the unit with a heater block option and this solves pre warm up issues etc But where are you residing! ALASKA> you'd need a 4 by four all wheel drive and a few extra modified fuel and oil supplements such as these to keep the Sprinter happy. http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gearlubricants.asp Red Line Oil: Gear Lubricants"> Altered Sprinter Replies to this message: surlyoldbill (Jan 06, 2007 8:20 am) altered3 (Jan 06, 2007 9:03 pm)

Replying to: altered3 (Jan 06, 2007 2:02 am) Note on winter condieions and the Sprinter: A visit to Oregon over the holidays showed me that the Sprinter will get stuck on flat ground on packed snow. A little shove got it rolling enough to stop spinning. Stock LTX tires, 2/3 tread. When is the 4x4 or all-wheel drive option going to be available?! the aftermarket 4x4 conversion from Germany looks very cool!   http://www.iglhaut-allrad.de/htm/e_home.html Replies to this message: altered3 (Jan 06, 2007 9:03 pm)

Replying to: surlyoldbill (Jan 06, 2007 8:20 am) You would not be alone in that one getting stuck, them truck tires are not so good for off road experiences, Australia has the 4by4 as the Mercedes unit Sprinter, US is playing with it as usual ! Time will tell You can bet the new generation Sprinter will be a all wheel drive within the next two years, Mercedes is working on this now as Ford And other UK European vehicles in the same class as the Sprinter are not that far off from developing the same type of all wheel drive units

Replying to: pauls3500 (Sep 06, 2005 7:06 pm) did you ever find the instructions for resetting the computer? I have an 06 and don't find them either. Thanks for any help.

Replying to: mgreen2 (Jan 06, 2007 10:48 pm) Turn ignition on and press mi. button till you see oil change miles, release button, then turn ignition off and press and hold mi. button. Turn ignition back on and keep holding the mi. button for approx. 10 sec. till oil change milage will reset. You're done.
