What's wrong with my Mercedes Sprinter?

your model relys on the glow plugs to pre heat the injected fuel. should be a 601 engine in yours. if 2 of the glow plugs have failed, pig to start. the system warns you it has at least 1 failed, by putting the light on for 2 minutes after starting, so guess what, you have at least 2 bad glow plugs. fit a set, as the new ones will bring the old ones down, so they wont last long. easier job then it looks.
