- 311 sprinter 2.2 diesel 2005
Hi all. New to the group. I have just bought a sprinter 311cdi van 2005 106k miles. It is lacking in power over 3000revs when pulling away the power will markedly retard as I hit that rev. Going up hills at 60mph will slow down to 50 and be unable to increase speed even when dropping a gear... There is a whine that accompanies the engine tone that goes up and down with the rev even in neutral. Could this be the turbo or a cat issue? Is there a way of testing or isolating? One other thing which may be a red herring to the problem but I read it on another thread iwith a similar issue s the glow plug warning light comes on after start and stays on for a bit till its warm.
Thanks in advance
Keith
