We complete a major maintenance operation at the workshop: Replace the Steering Rack and Tie Rods for Sprinter 2014. The service took one full day and 3 persons 🛠️

The steering wheel alignment wasn't correct at our first try, hence we received the vehicle ESP error (Electronic Stability Programme warning). This is the traction and anti-slip control warning, related to ABS, Cruise Control and other driver's assistance and safety functions. Luckily, we figured out our mistake and managed to repair the mechanical issue during the same night.

This was a challenging technical puzzle, yet the van is ready for the next adventures now.

🩷 Big thank you to the highly skilled mechanics who keep instructing me in the repairs! 🩷
