Essential Sprinter Repair and Service in Green Bay
Engine Oil and Filter Change
As a diesel engine, this service is essential for Sprinter vans. A special low-ash synthetic engine oil such as MB 229.51 or 229.52 is needed for proper lubrication of Sprinter engines. The company advises an oil change between 10,000 and 15,000 miles or once every year. Depending on the usage frequency and your driving habits, this number varies. Along with oil, the oil filter is also replaced with a new one. Our auto repair shop at 840 Vanderperren Way provides you with model-specific synthetic oil and OEM filters for the oil service of your Sprinter near Green Bay.
Transmission Repairs and Replacement
Harsh shifts, delayed engagements, and slipping gears are the signs of transmission malfunction. Dell’s Service Center auto repair shop houses advanced diagnostic scanners that are used to identify malfunctions. Then, the repair is completed, which often involves replacing the valve body and solenoid, adjusting the clutch, repairing leaks, or performing a full transmission replacement.
Emission System Repairs
Excessive carbon buildup in the exhaust gas recirculation valve causes exhaust system failure, resulting in reduced power, excessive smoke, and increased fuel consumption. After identification of the origin of the malfunction, our ASE-certified technicians at Dell’s Service Center repaired the exhaust system issue accordingly. Minor buildups can be repaired by proper cleaning and lubrication, whereas major buildups and related damages need the replacement of exhaust modules in Green Bay.
Glow Plug Replacement
The glow plug, the component responsible for igniting the engine in cold weather, gets damaged due to burnout. Burnout occurs due to carbon buildups from frequent use, and old plugs are generally prone to this issue. Misfires and rough idling follow after this malfunction. Technicians at our facility take careful consideration during the removal of the damaged plug, as a broken plug could leave remnants in the engine, which could later cause engine seizure. Then the new glow plug is replaced, and a final test is done to ensure it works!
Fuel Filter Change
High-performance large vehicles like the Sprinter need timely fuel filter changes for optimized performance and fuel economy. Our expert technicians at Dell’s Service Center advise a fuel filter change around every 20,000 miles to keep the fuel pump and engine healthy in Green Bay.
Turbocharger Repair
This engine component is integrated into the vehicle system to enhance performance. It could face various types of malfunctions, such as leaks, worn bearings, or complete component damage. Our technicians at Dell’s Service Center use diagnostic scanners and visual inspection to identify the issue. Leaks are sealed, worn bearings are replaced, and final lubrication is done for minor repairs. However, to address extensive damage, the whole turbocharger can be replaced at our Green Bay facility by skilled technicians swiftly, with precision, and with all the highest quality tools.
