Yes, that is to be expected. As far as I know, they only started exposing the DEF level to the driver in the last few years (my van excepted, for some reason). That doesn't prove the sensors aren't...

Actually, my understanding is that Sprinter DEF tanks DO have level sensors. I think they are something like 5 of them at fixed intervals (capacitive sensors most likely). Between measured values,...

I have had THREE major trip-ruining incidents. I have been out of reasonable Sprinter service range countless times.

Worse, we can never again be comfortable on an adventurous trip. The prospect...

The nightmare of owning and maintaining a modern DEF-equipped diesel emissions system so far outweighs any other consideration that might favor diesel vs petrol as to make the whole question moot,...

Yes, modern engines are a triumph of metallurgy, CAD, precision machining, and chemistry. I chuckle at the folks who second-guess the engineers when it comes to oil change intervals. The performance...

Not only does it seem logical, it IS logical.
Dealers do not take title to the vehicles they sell. OEM warranties have nothing to do with dealers (except perhaps an obligation to honor them). They...

From a strictly legal perspective, this is no doubt correct. But, as Brianh suggested above, the new firm may well decide to buy some goodwill for the brand by offering some kind of warranty relief...

This is a good point. It is important to distinguish between a true dealer-provided warranty and a third-party warranty that is simply being brokered by the dealer.

As I have argued ad nauseam,...

I agree with this.

The situation is not that complicated. No need for deep conspiracy theories. The sale was arranged so that all the rotten assets were sequestered into a sacrificial entity. No...

I am very sad to say so, but I see little residual value here, with the exception of the "Roadtrek" brand. Once upon a time, RT vans were distinctive and unique. These days, they are just another...
