    Default Sprinter 316 CDI...

    Hi there, new to this forum, I am hoping the expertise of members of this forum can enlighten me. I bought a 316 cdi last year and have noticed an intermittent problem. When driving with sidelights sometimes there is a marked lack of power on hills. When lights are turned off the power is restored. Any ideas anyone, one theory is a break down of the alternator. If I can't fathom this one myself it's off to the overpriced dealer to sort out. Please help anyone....

    Default No power with accessories running

    I actually work at a dealer and maybe I can help you. If you are talking about parking lights, does the problem get worse, the more accessories you run. Such as if headlights, blower motor and maybe wipers are on.
    if so, you could have a possible alternator regulator not creating enough
    power to supply all the accessories, therfore your battery voltage is low
    and could be the cause of lack of power.

    Thanks for your input 'ifixsprinters'. It seems like this is my first task to try and fix the problem, hope it works as I am so pleased with my van apart from this.
