    You did a great job! Next time you you do this replacement, you should always check the turbo inlet seal that seats in the turbo hose you removed. Damaged or worn seals are the biggest cause of turbo failure. Its a $20 part and you’re already in there. Make sure you lightly spray the seal and exterior turbo opening with silicone spray. That deters drying and cracking.
    Also, you didn’t show it in your video but, when ready to start the vehicle, don’t just try and start the engine. Turn the key to the acc position only, 2 or three times. Wait for the beeping to stop each time. This will prime the filter with fuel. Then you can start. Otherwise you will grind your starter.
    One last thing, as you probably since learned, you do not need to remove the fuel filter mounting bracket. Just loosen the little 5 mm Allen bolt on the side and this will allow the filter to come out.

      I just made my first fuel filter change and hadn't read this thread beforehand. I had to drive 2-hrs round trip to get that turbo air intake gasket to finish the repair. All your points are well made and helpful - both of you! Thanks for such a great video. I am adding a great link to IDParts where you can purchase nearly the entire maintenance schedule of parts in one go. filters kit: www.idparts.com/sprinter-complete-engine-filter-pack-om642-30l-diesel-6421800009-6421800009pack-p-5254.html turbo gasket seal: www.idparts.com/sprinter-turbo-inlet-seal-late-red-0000940051-519280-p-6045.html and ear clamps: www.idparts.com/fuel-filter-hose-clamps-set-oem-om642om651-0069971890-0049972090-p-10777.html I wished that I had seen this website before I ordered off of Amazon . . .

      Having been a pool guy for a number of years. I have found that silicone “spray” deteriorates oring’s. So I prefer a very light coat of silicone grease Magic Lube II (red). Silicone Spray is great for cleaning the old grease film off though.

      VERY helpful thank you! Wow the little horseshoe shaped clip that holds the fuel line onto the black plastic unit on top of the fuel filter can really mess you up. If you take it out wrong and break it (like I did) finding a new one can be very difficult. Also, when you put that fuel line back on and secure it with that horseshoe clip, tug on it to make damn sure it's really100% on. Mine was off by a business-cards' width, and after driving it came off and was squirting fuel all over the filter & engine - could have burnt my Sprinter down. Was tough pushing the fuel line on far enough to legit get the clip in.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. A word of caution to all. If you pause the video at 5:05, you'll notice a return line for the injectors directly over the lines to the fuel filter. If you follow the return line to the right, its connected to a plastic T fitting (seen in the video). That plastic fitting can easily break. I was a little careless and leaned on it. You cannot replace the fitting alone. You have to purchase the entire fuel return line assembly.. I think it was about $ 100. I just cut up the new one and spliced it with the existing one. IIRC, to do it properly, one side of the engine is a real PITA. About 3-4 hrs. Don't break the fitting!!

    VERY VERY IMPORTANT, when removing the retaining clip it sits in there only one way, the top of the clip has an extrusion and it has to be be set in outwardly so towards the passenger side or road side not inwardly, I made that mistake after spending 2 hours cleaning my engine and when I turned on the key to pump fuel int the filter there was a spray fest going on from that hose because I did not put the retaining clip on te right way, save yourself a mess and pay close attention to how it was inserted when you take it off. little detail that saves a huge mess

      For some reason the clip on my 2016 Navion RV (2015 Sprinter chassis) was installed in the reverse configuration. When I installed the new filter I tried to install the clip with the extrusion facing the passenger side and it would not seat. So I installed it the other way and it clipped right in. No leaks......so far.

    Thank you for a great video. Just a thing to add, since I did this job outside well below freezing at 15F it was helpful to use a heat gun to soften the rubber on fuel hoses and turbo inlet pipe.
    I don't think I could have done it without heating the rubber. The turbo inlet was stuck solid and would not budge. Fortunately I was able to remove everything without damage.
    I had to change the fuel filter due to a water in fuel light coming up earlier. Just a note for anyone who had same issue. I didn't drain the fuel tank. Instead I got a water detection paste Gasoila ap2 and used it to check diesel samples that I took out of the bottom of the fuel tank and from a fuel filter drain hose.
    Since it didn't detect any water in fuel I just replaced a filter and was done with it. The water in fuel light didn't came on through the rest of a fuel tank so I think it was minor contamination or an old filter +cold weather. Anyways someone in the comments pointed out that draining a fuel tank with the filter replacement would be around $1000 job plus you have to tow the van to the dealer as soon as the light comes on. So now I have a spare fuel filter and a set of tools to replace it in case I need to do it on the road.

    Thanks again. A couple of things to mention. One, instead of unbolting and removing the bracket with the fuel filter, I did as someone suggested in the comments for another video and just loosed the 5mm screw holding the filter in the bracket which allowed me to remove the filter leaving the bracket in place. Don't know that it saved much time or effort. Second, my check engine light is on after the filter change. Hoping it resets in a few miles of driving. Any thoughts on that?

      On my 2017 Sprinter the fuel filter is supposed to be changed every 20K miles.

      Well the reason they put the fuel filter right in the middle of the engine is to use the heat of the engine to heat up the fuel so it's deluded a lot quicker and it flows easier to the injectors that's the reason they put it in a very hot area in the middle of the engine
