A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Should Only Be Serviced And Repaired By A Trusted Sprinter Specialist

Jon Howes • Jan 13, 2015

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van is one of the most unique and most recognizable vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. If you own one or several Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, you may have already discovered that not all repair shops that work on a Mercedes-Benz should be working on this specialized vehicle. Read on to learn why you should only trust your Sprinter with technicians who have been specially trained to service these unique vans.

 

The Sprinter Engine: An Engineering Masterpiece

Individuals and businesses alike value Sprinter over other vans for its outstanding fuel efficiency, amazing road handling and outstanding performance. The Sprinter is able to deliver thanks to its sophisticated 3-liter turbo diesel engine. Anyone who has driven a Sprinter knows that it is packed with sensitive on-board sensors and computer systems monitoring every component of the driving experience. Only a repair shop that has been specially trained on Sprinter vehicles will know how to address them properly. Additionally, not all repair shops possess the specialized diagnostic equipment and factory parts needed to work on Sprinter vans

 

Diesel Provides Optimal Performance But Calls For Skilled Service

Sprinter vans have advanced turbo-diesel engines and control systems that preclude some repair shops from properly diagnosing and servicing these vehicles. Sprinter engines employ specialized components including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves, diesel particulate filters (DPF), and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection, along with various controllers and sensors designed to reduce particulate and exhaust gas emissions. With all this equipment, Sprinters require regular maintenance performed by trained technicians to achieve long service life and avoid limp home mode service failures.
