Wow, a year later and I stumble across this comment. I never received a notification. I have numerous sprinters of varying years from 2002 through 2006. The filter in question in this video came out of a 2005 model. As for recommendation, I would say any 2004 through 2006 OM647 Sprinter would be the best choice. This allows for the positive pressure fuel system, eliminating the frustration of priming the fuel system after changing a fuel filter or figuring out why it suddenly will not start because an o-ring began allowing some air past it, the EGR design is much better and about half the price to replace, and the intake manifold is a much better design allowing for easier service of the engine's components.

Apologies for the delay in dropping videos. My primary computer fried and I finally got everything back up to snuff on its replacement, only I haven't reinstalled my video editing software. I have several videos filmed that just need to be edited and uploaded, hopefully I can accomplish that when the next round of poor weather rolls in.

@@specialt1ns697 It's great to see people still passionate about these old vans, I am rebuilding one at the moment and will need to start looking at the mechanicals soon so your videos are greatly appreciated

@@zambotv8150 I have 0 passion for repairing and forking out £££ on sprinter, but being too tight to spend on garage repair bill leaves no choice.

@@magnusremovals3548 I am restoring a really old sprinter on my channel. you should put some videos up on UA-cam, it's a great resource network

That's a personal choice and situation-dependent. I changed someone's plugs a couple weeks ago that had obviously already been updated to the nickel-plated plugs and did not show any signs of corrosion or deposits needing cleaning. Generally, though, I clean the entire bores with either rifle cleaning kit CLP, Hoppe's No. 9, or even simpler, carburetor cleaner.

@@specialt1ns697 I guess my question was more out of caution for the cleaning pad getting stock past the treads after seeing you fight with it.

@@mannyst1nvan I have done both ways, as said, and it is a personal preference. It is a lot easier to just clean the threaded area and part of the bore, and I have yet to lose a cleaning pad off the rod, but it can be difficult to pull back out. In the case where is gets stuck, you can always thread on the t-handle from the kit in order to pull it back out. I have also just used the brushes in the kits as well.

@@specialt1ns697 I am rebuilding a T1N on my channel, changing the glow plugs is something I am going to have to think about soon, thanks for the upload, appreciated and subscribed

Yes. Surprisingly, when the cold weather hit, the ignition switch began working perfectly again. Once it got too cold, however, the drop in voltage made it inoperable again. That will be coming up in a couple months, as I have a LOT of raw footage of different projects on my personal van that I am about to button up in the next week and begin sorting for upload.

That is actually next on the list. The problem with the timing, though, is that by the time I film the diagnostic procedure, order the parts, receive the parts, film the installation and post-use, then edit the clip sand render the video, it might be spring!

@@specialt1ns697 O ok wait till ur warm season. We ( ur following ) have patience. LOL till then have a great new yr ciao

No LHM yet at that point. I am actually leaning towards an exhaust leak, rather than boost leak at this time, as it took a while to trigger LHM and the codes pointed to the IAT sensor giving a faulty reading. It is entirely possible, however, that the IAL is what is leaking boost and causing the whistle as well. Only time will tell, as I won't be able to do anything else to this one for another couple weeks.

What do u mean with LMH?

@@z.b6506 LHM just means Limp Home Mode. LHM limits certain functionality. Sprinters can get into various forms of LHM to protect their transmission, engine, or turbo system from further damage.

Man o man I need schooled in ur diagnostic technical skills u went through with ur rig and it's future repairs. So please do a series for us green horns. Great video

@@gregboyd4321 that is the entire purpose of this UA-cam channel. It is all about tips, tricks, shortcuts, diagnostics, and repair for the home mechanic in order to prevent paying $189 just to get into the door at your local Mercedes service center. I just launched this channel 2 months ago, and I'm filming weekly in order to release new content. The last month has been a bit strange, as not only did my computer die, there has been an uptick on freelance Sprinter work in my shop. As of now, I do not post customer's vehicles on my videos, but that may change in the future. Stay tuned, because the next video will be about your cooling system followed by a video on air conditioning repair.
