This was a great run-down on the location of everything under the hood. I recently purchased a worn out '05 van with hopes of turning it into an "adventure/camping van" for the family on a very limited budget. I've done a lot of research, but learned 75% more, in the last 15 minutes, sitting in front of the computer, watching your video vs. climbing around under the van to figure out where everything is located, and how everything is interconnected. Great video! Thank you!

Thanks! I"m new to T1Ns and went to look at one yesterday this would have helped IMMENSELY to have watched first. On thing I learned after looking at that 2006 and doing some research is that some vans came factory with a roof AC unit which had a secondary AC compressor at the bottom drivers side (front) of the engine below the cab ac compressor. I was SUPER confused because on the model I was looking at, the belt had been removed when a previous owner replaced the roof ac with an aftermarket unit. So I was looking under the engine and scratching my head as to why the compressor was disconnected. That combined with not knowing how to use the AC controls (who designed that cab interface? A monkey?) led me to assume the AC system was shot. Great overview.

Might want to Add: Just forward of the air filter is the Mass Air Flow Sensor. On my 2006 3500 5-cylinder Turbo Diesel, this thing has gotten fouled several times in the 6 yrs I've had it. Vehicle will suddenly go into Granny Mode/Limp Mode. Can't go over about 40 mph. Learning to clean this thing will save any owner a lot of frustration & $$$. I always carry a can of Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner. The only other equipment you need is (as I recall) a 10 mm socket. You have to remove the metal heat shield, but it's seriously not rocket science. I've both replaced the sensor & cleaned it a few times. Takes less than half an hour. There are more than one good KZitem video on the step-by-step. The most important thing is not to stick anything inside the MAFS housing. If you touch the sensor itself, you'll be buying a new one. Mine was simply shot when I bought it. If you have a Blue Driver, the code is P0101

Universal Sprinter problem with ground wire. ( 1 click not start) 2006 / 2.7 If your driving down the road and lose engine power check your power window of wipers if no power. And you get pulled over place hand on ground post of battery if hot as HELL . This is a bad motor grounding wire. (motor to frame) It took may month to find this problem. TAG Truck Center never could. Van would have to set 1-2 hours then it start. I turning the key to start only one click start never engaged. Adding a ground wire to battery fix this problem. $14.00 . If you have this problem and you have a jumper cable you can restart by making the ground post to engine . Ground the starter so it will turn the motor. I stop started other DOA Sprinter on the road like this. jumping battery to battery will not work if 2 vehicle's the main jumper from there battery to doa VAN pos (+) post OTHER to neg (-) on the motor casing.

Perhaps worth pointing out the location of the serpentine belt tensioner pulley (between and left of power steering and A/C in this video). It's has a moulded in fitting (Torx on mine, apparently 3/8 on some others?) to fit a lever in to it, to get tension off the serpentine belt so you can remove it. Easy enough with the radiators swung out the way, trickier with all that still in place, particularly if you don't know where it is.

Just one thing, you say the fan clutch is easy to replace. I did not find that to be the case when mine failed. Ended up removing the radiator to get to it and bolts that hold it on. I'd be interested if you knew another way. While I was there I also replaced the serpentine belt tensioner, water pump and idler pulleys.

You can slide the old one out and with a little yoga move or two get the new one in. My forearms felt it after.... but it can be done. Cheers -Bjorn

It is only there for cab heat when the engine is not running and it comes standard in the delivery/utility sprinters (I.e. not passenger sprinters). Hopefully that is it and maybe that helps. I would google Espar D5 and if it looks like the connection than that’s all it is.

@GetBusyBuilding

Hey Henry, I assume this means that you have confirmed that you have the Espar D5 auxiliary heater behind the drivers side headlight? Not all vans have it. I never tried to get mine working, I installed an Espar D2 in the cabin for heating the van through the night. I can tell you that I would remove the unit, take it apart, clean all components and look for major degradation, and I would replace any necessary parts from Espars website. I believe they may have a maintenance kit you can order too. As far as the electric pump in the video, I would supply that with power directly very briefly to ensure it turns on. Lastly, you may have to test the fuel pump for the Espar, you will find that under the van on the drivers side mounted to the frame. There is a very small fuel line (1/8th”?) that goes from the fuel tank to the fuel pump. Make sure that puppy is working as well, replacements are readily available. I hope that helps, sorry that is about the best I can do for you 👍

Hi...I recently purchased a 2006 Sprinter camper van with the inline 5 cyl diesel. I am wondering, since you appear to be in Utah, do these vehicles come with block heaters? If so, where does Mercedes "hide" it? Thanks so much.

I’m not 100% sure on the block heater. They have glow plugs and the cargo vans (non seated) usually have an Espar D5 which heats the coolant and effectively does the same thing as a block heater... it also allows you to use the cab heater without running the engine. I think I mention that in this video at the end; it is behind the drivers side headlamp. You can easily see if you have one by looking in/behind the drivers side wheel well... there will be a small exhaust tube with a muffler sticking out if there is one

Never got the D5 going and the original horn was right behind the bumper on the passenger side in front of the radiator.

Missed the lower intercooler hose below the left headlight. There are 3 hoses to check for leaks when it goes into limp mode.

Hello, a good video. I have a 316 cdi sprinter 2003 model and wonder where I can find the engine management? My turbo isn`t working and a friend connected a computer and he said that he got no connection with the engine management (or engine steering) I am not sure if the English word is correct, but it is the unit who give signal to the engine and also the turbo. I try to avoid the Mercedes workshop as long as I can because they are so expensive here in Norway (around 200 US Dollar for one hour (45 min) Hope you can answer me at this question. All the best and take care. Greetings from Norway.

Hello, another Bjorn (that is my name as well). I am not certain, I would check the ecu which I would expect to be near the driver side firewall, also check fuses in engine and below steering wheel (in steering column). Perhaps searching for Sprinter ECU (computer) will yield good results for you. Best of luck!

Another question...is there a list of spare parts one should have stored in the van, ie serpentine belt a etc...

That is a great question. I hope others leave comments here for that. My biggest go to is the OBDII reader… it helps trouble shoot anything. Next might be duct tape…. You can temporarily repair a lot of hoses that way to limp wherever you have to. Beyond that I’m not sure what else I would carry constantly on the road with me. The more the merrier, but space is always limited. It may vary on a vehicle by vehicle basis as you gain background with your sprinters own quirks

Great video, I do have question. Recently someone in my family purchased 2004 dodge sprinter 3500. After getting it home he realized there was a problem with the ASR, are you familiar with this part of the system? Apparently the vehicle brakes are grinding between 0-15 mph, once the ASR light comes on the brakes no longer grind. Any idea what is causing it?

I am not familiar with that, perhaps someone who does know will be able to respond to you here or one of the Sprinter forums can be invaluable for info. Good luck!

No, so far we haven’t needed a block heater. We started up in as low as -4 degree weather

I would suggest you fit the schraeder valve caps on your AC system.....dust is a killer. And the valves themselves may not be 100% leak proof....caps will help with any leakage.
