Plan on an ideate engine swap, GM 4.3 or a Toyota v-something or another.

Lol! I’ll play along and comment on this ignorant saturated video to trigger the algorithm. “End of Sprinter”… gtfoh! Lol!

14000 miles til you change it?

I can’t find the list of parts you mentioned. Where is it?

Great video, thanks for your excellent work. Any tip putting the cotter pin back over that hose. I've done everythung but had no luck with that today, giving up for now and will try again in the am.

Things are going that way. Look at what Toyota has done. Only time will tell if the automakers will go back to bigger displayment engines. But I doubt it.

No torque wrenches were harmed during the making of this video. 😂

I have always been told to open the caliper bleed valve when retracting caliper pistons to prevent back flushing contaminated brake fluid into the master cylinder. Great video presentation.

What a great video he actually explains and shows you how to do it. Unlike the other examples on CZcams good job, sir, my respect to you. 😊

The moment you start comparing gas and diesel, I knew you had no clue what you were talking about. I actually agree that this engine is too weak for 11000 GVWR, but no one knows how reliable this powertrain will be over the long term. Only time will answer that question. Also, most people absolutely do not tow with these vans. They convert them to RVs or the use them for hauling cargo, but they're not towing. You are just trying to projecting your experience and opinions onto everyone.

Ya I don’t think he’s ever driven one yet. What an idiot. Look at the numbers dummy. It puts out more power and more mileage than older models. Putting ur hand in there is a good thing so u can work on it urself. Big engine doesnt mean squat. That’s just more weight to haul down the road. These vans are not made to be a towing vehicle. I’ve never seen one that was anywhere near $100k bare van. OMG I can’t watch the rest of this video.

Hey, how is this a few years on?

The 2.0 liter twin turbo diesel engine and the 9 speed transmission together are worth more than an entire car from Mercedes with a gasoline 2.0 engine. Notice all of the coolers and cooling lines under the van when he films under the front. Mercedes Turbo diesel engines use EXTREME DUTY parts throughout when compared to a gasoline engine and the EXTREME DUTY parts (and engineering), extends to the transmission as well. The tuber is not educated concerning diesel/turbo diesel technology.

Definitely don't want diesel for my van conversion

get a semi dah

Dude, I've never heard anyone. Especially a grown man cry like such a little bitch is listening to you during this video

so hung up on tWo pOInT oH and not realizing it's got more power and torque with less issues than the previous 3.0. what a waste of time watching even a second of this.

This guys doesn’t know shit. I owned a 2022 v6 3.0L 4x4 sprinter and now own a 2024 2.0L AWD sprinter. The new one feels more powerful and is way more fuel efficient. Don’t go on here with your misinformed information brother. Do some research first before you start blabbing next time.

thank you very much 🙏💖

My man complaining he won’t get a detroit or cummins semi engine on a sprinter… bud if u wanna haul get a truck otherwise accept that is a van and not a semi or even a dually.

czcams.com/video/xtyCkPoPm2g/video.htmlsi=-PFUVCvPlJ6ogJdt tfl says new 2.0 way better

The new 2.0 is so much more powerful and torquey than the 3.0 he is full of crap

Not everyone needs or wants to tow. Space in the engine compartment is a negative??? Formula 1 cars have 1.6 liters and can produce over 800 horsepower. 1.6liters. The upgraded (there are 2 diesel models available) MB 2.0L I4 turbo diesel engine has better power specs than the old 3.0L V6 turbo diesel. The upgraded 2.0L I4 puts out 211HP and 338lbft of torque. The obsolete 3.0L V6 puts out 188HP and 325lbft of torque.

Great video! What size is the tubing you inserted into the cooling port to drain?

I'm loving your channel. I have used it twice now, transmission flush and fuel filter. I was quoted $1300. for the tranny flush alone, with your video about an hour, little over $100 had it done. Took more time allowing the engine to get to temp than it did dropping pan and replacing the filter. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.

Great video, how do I purchase the needed equipment?

Time will be a benefit to EVERY Sprinter mechanic with that 2.0 liter junk renault motor. It will be a great fun to replace 2! EGR valves, 2 EGR! Coolers, 2! DEF injectors. Those engines where introduced in Europe in 2016! 8 years ago! Everybody who has Sprinter’s there either stick to OM642 3.0 or OM651 2.1. I would never change OM642 3.0 engine to junk 2.0.

The only part you care about is the 2.0 and size? My suggestion is go back to 1960s. Those cars fit your knowledge of cars better.

Clueless. More power. Better efficiency. More gears. Higher boost. Dude. Nice video. Sorry about your pecker.

Not need to be bleed ???

While its a downgrade and i agree with your concerns, the 2L 4-cylinder diesel is fine. The 2L you find in the sedans are completely different engines that the ones you find on the sprinter, and its also completely different compared to the previous 2.1L Sprinter. These are all new developed engines you should give a chance. In Europe, we are unfortunately hit much harder with the downsizing bs, we are used to 2.0L Sprinters by now...while yes the previous V6 was better, the new engines can tow just as much. Tried it in the Alps and the engine does it well. Though it would help a lot if the prices would go down significantly, Mercedes in general from sedan to Sprinter is getting way too expensive for what they offer nowadays. Here is why they no longer offer the V6. Mercedes introduced an all new engine family in 2017/2018 where they switched to inline engine only for their 6 cylinder. The new inline 6 cylinder engines, don't fit into the Sprinter as the engine is too long. The V6 was just kept around as long as they could, as it could only be modernized to a certain point since it's no longer developed and last gen. So everybody knew sooner or later the V6 was going to be ditched. I wish Mercedes developed an inline 5 cylinder as a middle ground as it still would fit in a Sprinter, i think the Sprinter would be perfect with such an engine.

Sprinter owner must subscribe this channel

Great Video. I need to do this soon on my 2021 Sprinter 2500. What year and size is the engine in this video? You also mentioned providing the links to the items you used? I don't seem to see them. Thanks.

just used this process to change my leaking gasket and fluid flush. worked like a charm. tube is 3/8 OD 1/4ID from Lowes.

I dont think people buy Sprinters for towing in the first place, they buy them for hauling freight. Or for a RV build out. If you dont want the 2.0, then dont buy one. Buy a used with 3.0V6

Hi! It is much easier and faster to remove the front bumper. Thanks for video!

LMAO...ANOTHER GUY WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.

Can you provide the links for the filters?

This guy is full of crap. 😂 he doesn't know what he's talking about but he knows more than Mercedes who has been building some of the best diesel engines forever.

Thank You!

2.0 is the best motor on this vans and they have the same tow capacity for 2.0l or 3.0l

Who is this yahoo? MB has been building diesel engine forever. The CC has zero credibility.

I just read all the comments and it seems that people were much more positive and courteous as you go back in time. They became more critical and negative as you approach the present time. Just an observation. Thanks for the video.

Get some led bulbs fit too 100 percent better

You're just blabbing general info and does not have any detailed information to support your claim.

I bought a 2022 3.0L in Feb 2023, but had to tow it from New Jersey to Seattle. I believe 2.0 can have the same horsepower as 3.0 with dual turbo, but I still choose 2022 for 2 reasons. When generate same power, 2.0 needs rotate much faster than 3.0, which means shorter life span. Dual turbo also means much higher temperature and higher failing rate. Second, msrp of 2023 is much higher than 2022. It is about 10% higher with the same configuration of 2023 2.0 to 2022 3.0. Moreover, the destination fee was raised from $1700 to $2300.

Hi Capt.... this is helpful information for any vehicle! In the good-old-days (1950's/1960's) we could change a headlight in 3 minutes! ☺ Not any more!

Where did you get your lights from? I have HID on my van, do you know if they are more difficult to change?
