Mercedes-Benz and Sprinter parts from breakers: how to order well
Engine and code first, everything else after
One Mercedes model can come with several engines, and the parts for them differ. For a Sprinter W906 with the 2.2 CDI diesel, for example, you should give the engine code, such as OM651, and the year. Without it a seller may offer injectors from another engine that look the same.
If the old part is still on the vehicle, copy the part number from it. Exact matching starts there. If there is no number, send the VIN: it shows the trim and the engine.
Injectors: what to find out
Used diesel injectors are a part where small details cost a lot. Ask whether they were tested on a bench, what mileage the donor vehicle had and whether there is a test report. Some engines need the injectors coded into the control unit; ask whether the seller has allowed for that and whether they can help you find a workshop. Check how many injectors come in the set and whether the washers, seals and fixings are included.
When you compare prices, see whether it is a set of four or a single injector, and whether there is a warranty.
Ask whether the breaker has a second set in case the first does not fit. Also confirm the body type: the Sprinter comes in cargo and passenger versions, and the W906 and newer generations differ. Say exactly what you have, so you do not get a part from another variant. Commercial vehicles usually have higher mileage, so a warranty on testing and data about the donor matter even more here.
