2008 Dodge Sprinter loss of power limp mode
Was wondering if anyone else out there is having issues with limp mode and loss of power? What problems have you faced and what repairs did you have to make to solve the issues?
I've changed the hoses that were defective such as the one from the air filter to the turbocharger, the high pressure hose located in front of the driver side front tire, cleaned the EGR valve, change the fuel filter. Nothing I did fixed the problem.
Then I took it to the Dodge dealer who employs a Sprinter diesel mechanic and he diagnosed it this way... "Found code 2510 boost pressure regulator and 2527 EGR open. Found ABS dynamic sensor failed. EGR valve and EGR cooler temp sensor faulty. Found turbo faulty."
So, they think I need a total turbocharger replacement, replace EGR valve and do a desoot cleaning. Total job cost, nearly $7,800.00.
Right now I'm realizing a generic code of P0299, which is an over-boost. I was considering that maybe the diesel particulate filter might be restrictive, or a turbo resonator faulty? Before I decide to replace a turbocharger, I want to see if there are other issues I should check first. I'm not about to let a dealer take financial advantage of me with their exaggerated suggested repairs. I don't trust them.
Any advise is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

seems to be driving great until i get up to highway speed and then i feel it. Goes into limp mode and and has no pick up.
This turbo system is very touchy with sensors that detect every little function of the turbo system and puts it into limp mode if something is out of balance. My problem was never the turbo and never had to replace it. All the while it was air leaks in the turbo system.
I've since traded off my Sprinter for the Ford Transit. My Sprinter was a headache and was glad to get rid of it. If I was you and could afford it, I'd get rid of it. They are a headache to deal with. Sorry about your issues. 😊
