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.
What year is your sprinter? On tbe T1N.s the earlier models are different. What sprinter model do you recommend?
