Why is my MBE 900 emitting white smoke?
If a bus with the MBE 900 begins to emit white smoke from the exhaust pipe, the EGR cooler may need to be checked as a possible contributing factor. The EGR cooler is an essential component of this diesel engine. The EGR cooler controls the amount of exhaust that transfers from the exhaust system into the intake system.

Why does my mb900 engine have no power?
We are in a 05 Sterling with a MB900. And have had three EGR cooler failures. They seem to fail about every 70,000 miles. First time we had no power, check engine light,unexplained loss of coolant. The leaking cooler caused a carbon build up on the EGR valve.
What happens if an EGR cooler is left unattended?
This can cause the unit to overheat, at which point it will not be able to cool the exhaust gases, and the engine will overheat as a result. Engine overheating can lead to knock or ping from the engine, and even serious damage, if the issue is left unattended.
