- LWB Sprinter Year 2000
I have a long wheel base sprinter van 311 year 2000. Owned for the last 2 - 3 years and it's been great, until recently.
For some unknown reason the van will only rev to 3,500 rpm when stationary or when being driven. And when driven, will struggle to make it up to a decent speed. Only yesterday was I stuck in 2nd gear going up a slight hill for just over a mile at 3,500rpm and 3rd gear was no good as the van would not pull!
Very frustration on times! However if the van is knocked off and then restarted, 9 times out of 10 it seems to be ok again (or at least until next time) or some times it requires switching off and on several time before it will rev again.
Any ideas??
Many Thanks
