help with sprinter DEF system
NEED SOME HELP
anybody with a sprinter 2010 or newer with def system . i have an on going problem that mabee someone else has had with the def not working .the def warning came on so i stopped and filled it but it only took 2 gallons . the warning went out and everthing seemed to be normal untill the 9 warning startes appeared . went to dealer they said that the system had froze and couldnt reset it . the engine light came on so they said it needed new nox sensore at $1000 . then another sensor at $1300 and then left dealer everthing seemed ok . one hours later engine light on again so i went back and they said def system not working at all , it is frozzen and needs a new def computer special order from germany to be made to my vans specs . i left and ya def system is not using any fluid for last 20,000 miles but after $3000 so far with there guessing at sensors how should i trust that they be right this time with new computer . anybody had this def frozzen problem with there sprinter that i can look at something different to repair the proper thing
thanks in advance ...............
THE REPAIR WAS A CPI MODULE AT ALMOST $2000 BUCKS . THE DEF SYSTEM WHENT TO THE 9 STARTS REMAINING BUT DOEST START A COUNT DOWN , JUST FREEZES THE SYSTEM ECT ECT. THE CPI IS A SPECIAL ORDER FROM GERMANY MADE TO YOUR VANS SPECS AND IF YOU DONT GERT IT FIXED IT CAUSES A WHOLE LOT OF EXTRA MONEY IN REPAIRS . IT DOESNT ALOUD THE REGEN PROCESS FOR THE DPF FILTER AND CAUSE THE CATALIST TO PLUG UP AS WELL AND THAT REPAIR IS ABOUT $5000 . I GOT LUCKEY THIS TIME AND IF I HAD WAITED ANY LONGER TO FIX IT WOULD OF COST ME A LOT MORE .
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP BEFORE
