Hi there, This is an Alipne radio – I can only help out with

Becker

Sprinter / Mercedes radio codes sorry.

Hi Martin,
Yes you can remove the plate, it makes the job far easier and this plate would be removed if you needed to say remove the engine so although takes a while to remove will open up access for the job in hand. The rear most injector is always the worst to deal with either in Sprinter or Vito, some pullers are low height to allow you to use them within the confines if you get into trouble.
All the best

Hi Steve,
46243 Should be the code. If by some chance it does not work try these, but fairly sure its 46243.

42441
86841
6849 if a 4 digit code

Regards
Steve

Hi there Manny,
This VIN is not listed, if you would like to pull the radio from the dash and let me have the full Becker serial number from the side of the radio on the white sticker (if it is the original radio) then I will have a go at getting the code for you.
All the best

Hi Kerry,
It sounds like it could be a thermal problem with the camshaft sensor. This lives on top of the rocker cover at the back. All the symptoms you have would point to this at a first guess. You would really need a code read to be a little more certain of where the problem lay but that would be my first line of approach if I had no access to a diagnostic reader. OE PART NUMBER 0031539728 / 32317.

Regards Steve

Hi Robert,
I cannot answer your question – but I suppose its possible. I really cant see the higher end audio system having no ‘theft protection’, especially as the base radio does! Maybe you have hit on the answer, its great news for you whatever the reason… There could be a chance that the replacement radio was originally decoded before being taken from the other vehicle to fit in yours I suppose.
Thanks for getting back to me with the results of your findings, keep me posted on your 2014 swap out.
All the best

Look at each injector plug, are they all sitting onto each injector properly? If one looks like it’s not on as far remove and clean. Also check if any of the lugs have snapped if so use zip ties to hold on. (You can buy the harness connectors from eBay if they have snapped but zip ties work just fine)

If it still won’t start look at all the other wiring that was covered In Black Death it may have been damaged (when cleaning)

Did the injectors come out ok or did you use a puller and spilt them?

Hi Tim,
There is a chance there is either an electrical connection issue on the injector plug, no connection or not connected properly of any injector will cause it to not start. Recheck the wiring and look for damage to loom, its easy done when cleaning that mess off! Also check the cam sensor at the back of the rocker cover, there is a short loom section that also goes over the injectors, make sure this is OK too.

Hi Helgi,
You really need to start with a code read to find the area of problem. Quite often the main issues are boost pressure leaks in split pipes or poor connected hoses from the pressure side of the turbo, through the intercooler, and to the manifold. Any problems here will set the engine into limp home (the symptoms you have). A code read will tell you all you need to know, find a local independent MB dealer/auto shop and get the codes read first. This will give you the best chance of a fix.
Best Regards

Hi Craig,
Poor gear selection and sloppy shifter usually points to a worn selector cage on the gearbox. This the frame that controls the motion of the shaft in the top of the gearbox that physically selects the gears. You can get underneath and have a good look see if any of the pivots are worn. There is little to do but to swap the complete cage assembly as individual parts are not available for the assembly. Before condemning the cage make double sure the cable adjustments are correct and investigate too see if the selector ball under the gear knob itself has not started or has broken up. These are all possible causes.
Let me know how you get on.
All the best
Steve
