Title: Mercedes Sprinter
Post by: Keith ABS on 17 March 2013, 18:54:50

   I just bought a Mercedes Sprinter camper van on a 53 plate. on the trip home I got a warning light up on the dash with EMD in red on it. Several miles later, I came across a flooded road with about two foot deep water. i drove through slowly but afterwards got another warning light with a picture of a wheel and staggered lines around it, ABS? If so on this one, prehaps because the sensors got so wet. Any thoughts people?

also make sure you use the right spec oil in it for these engines,they dont like the cheap stuff and can cost alot to sort it out after :y

   What oil do they use? will the trade club 10/40 semi be ok? it has the 2.2 diesel fitted. Does go and drive nice for a big van.

I too find nothing when it comes to 'EMD' on the Sprinter Dash.


EBV - You probably don't have this, but it's Electronically Controlled Brake-Force Distribution.

EDC - ECU Failure or Contaminated Fuel Filter

These are the only two which light up in red on the dash, as far as I can find.  Unless it is something to do with the Camper part?????
