Thank you for showing how to clear the "Service B" code. I absolutely refused to pay them $1200 for that work, I did it myself. I asked the dealer if they could remove the Service B code and they flat out refused telling me they would only clear it if THEY did the service B work. What an over priced scam. So this winter I was plowing snow with my tractor and did something really stupid. I slid on the ice and ended up jamming the front forks through the AC condenser and radiator of my van. The MB dealer quoted me over 5K for the repair work. $850 for the radiator and $900 for the condenser. I found a brand new OEM radiator for $86 and a brand new OEM condenser for $110 from Ebay motors. The dealer said it would take a month to get the parts. I received both parts in the mail in five days. I live in Alaska, so that was amazing they came so quick. I have no faith in our local dealer.

Again, a sincere thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I really appreciate each one and look forward to more and you are an inspiration for us sprinter owners who live on a fixed income.

Thanks, Ron! You are The Man! Much appreciated, as my 20k B service is due in less than 5k, and I was dreading a trip to the dealer for what seems like something I can do.

this grandpa is awesome ....tackles all without hesitation, having people like that around are priceless....
-
I just completed my first A inspection very easy. I watched Ron’s video on the B inspection so informative it will help me a lot in the future when I do my B Inspection. Thanks Ron a new subscriber.

I have done my own oil changes too. But was intimidated by the fuel filter change last time. Your video will be a great help next time it needs a fuel filter. I knew there were two different fuel filters, but never understood the difference. Your video really clears that up. Much appreciate your efforts on these videos.

Clear and practical Info. Thank you Ron. I can relate with you regarding being a grandpa to a granddaughter -- what a blessing!!
-
Excellent video on the B service. You do a great job of getting the lighting right so that you can see everything. Thanks!
-
And again, your videos on basic maintenance are fantastic. I’ve been wrench some on my own vehicles for a handful of years (I started later in life), and I recently changed my own pads and rotors front and back on my Subaru. Shop quoted me $1000. I did it myself in about 3 hours with $205 worth of parts. The first wheel took about 2 hours. The rest were under 30 minutes. (I already owned the jack and jackstands).

Thanks Ron. For my service at the dealership I have to travel 2 hours on top of the cost each way. Doing it myself sounds like a good plan.
-
Thanks Ron, you covered the Maintence much better than the manual that comes with the Sprinter, great service you provide for Sprinter owners. Thanks

Great Video Ron. A lot of people are afraid of elbow grease for the Mercedes engine. This video really helps to show it’s not as intimidating as it would seem. Thanks for all your videos I’m subscribed and really enjoy watching. I’m also in the market for a Winnebago view. Just building up the courage to go down and make the purchase thanks again.

Haven’t bought one yet (thanks, Covid!) but with your insightful instruction, I’m going to take a shot at doing the maintenance myself. Thank you!
-
Great video! Very informative! Thank you for the close up shots. You definitely help a person decide whether they can do it or not!
-
One of the best videos that I have seen for standard maintenance!
-
Thank you. You make this look doable. I was curious about resetting the maintenance computer and you showed us. I suspect it will take a few tries with all the toggling. Thank you for organizing all the links-very helpful indeed!
-
Great videos! I do all my maintenance to save money and time.. Thank you Ron.
-
Thanks for your video Grandpa! I'm a Grandpa myself and this video gives me confidence I can do it myself on my new 2021 Airstream Interstate 19 4x4.
-
Thanks Ron, informative. I will view again when ready. Huge cost savings. Mercedes really marks up the cost..WOW.
-
I much enjoy your videos. I have the same view so you have helped me learn and get ideas for things to improve. I look forward to your diesel generator maintenance video as I also have one.
