Hi.
I got a message on the display the other day. Oil level too high. Next thing was plumes of smoke from back and running at high revs. When I turned the key off it carried on running unit it eventually died on its own. On the oil I believe.
Anyway, got the van recovered. Have changed the turbo, no 2 injector tip burn out so replaced the injectors too. Now it wont start. Turns over no problem but not firing. I have reprogrammed the injectors just as a matter of course.
I bought the van as I thought that it would be reliable due to it being a Merc, how wrong I was. Been a complete money pit in the last few months and only 120k.
Any good news ?? ie things to try or is it just likely to be shot.
