Throttle lag and dpf problems, etc. Please help

Hello everyone. I have a 2013/2014 sprinter 316cdi high roof mwb facelift right hand drive manual with a twin turbo with a whole list of problems bugging me.

really bad throttle lag whilst driving and slow to respond when i press the accelerator pedal

i had the dpf hollowed out and remapped but after that was done the exhaust filter warning came up on the dash

van drifting on the motorway

Van feels really slow on the motorway where it barely creeps above 60mph

when the mechanic diagnosed the dpf issue it came up with oxygen sensors. I changed both. One was sensor 1 and one was sensor 2. Both bank 1 engine related as this is a 4 cylinder. So far nothing has come up with dpf luckily but i don’t see any exhaust smoke coming out when casually driving or even when i drive at high revs

the throttle lag issue: i’ve change both turbo actuators, throttle body, egr valve, accelerator pedal but still no difference. My next guess is to change the twin turbo

the drifting on the motorway: mechanic said that the steering rack needs changing as when driving even in the city/town the steering notches when turning left and right

i’ve got a lot of disgnostics done on this van but one thing that does come up a lot is can bus fault

my old 2007 209cdi low roof swb barely had any issues like what i’m experiencing now

if anyone has any solutions to these issues i am experiencing that would be very helpful

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm not sure what is your van's chassis number is either. Sorry, trying to find it.

Look up your chassis number via your VIN.
X(Class) 350D?
