I apologize for the inconvenience.
So many people think ALL hose clamps are the Same but as you Showed, they are NOT! The wrong type WILL cut the fuel line. Thank you so much for sharing this Detailed video.
Anytime and I really appreciate you watching my video👍
Btw, I pre filled new fuel filter with new diesel. After watching I learned I did not have to do that. Was afraid of air locking. Thx for the vid.
Nice to see great DIY vids on 2.1 MB Sprinters . Keep doing them .
jerry lambert thanks jerry and thanks for watching
Thank you very much for posting this! It took me about 15-minutes to change it myself after watching your video. And, doing it myself saved at least $200 from the dealer, too.
Zach White Zach im glad it help you and the best you are a real DIY that saved 200$ that makes me happy.
take care buddy
200 dealer wanted 407 to do fuel pump sounds more like 360 savings. These vids and people doing them are such as service. I like the details for us novice guys too
thank you, but i wish the lighting was better so i could see
Aaron Tsur im sorry buddy it was a bad day wen i got to do that video.

Navigate safe Cap.
@@mercedessprinterdiy8556 No problem keep it up videos are getting better and better. I actually found this because Im about to do this on one of my sprinters. We have about 7 of them now so Im starting to do the basic maintenance on them. Ive got brake changes down to about 10 minutes lol
Sorry to hear about your trouble with the vessel. Hope they see the video and do something about it.
Just a FYI that fuel filter is also a water seperator, i know you went into it a bit at the end but that's what the drain line coming of it is for, you turn key on but do not start, and crack that line open and let it drain till you get good fuel coming out, and the lift pump will only run for 30 secs with it open then shut off so it may require repeating a few times if excesive amount of water in the system.
Wade White thanks for the reply and yes I do know that that's the water separator when you turn you keuengine ignition on you can turn the valve on and the fuel separator will separate the water diesel
Wade White I'm sorry to hear that buddy but I have no idea what is going on on your problem there hope you can find the solution soon
thanks Vernon i really appreciate it.
Thank you for your fine videos. Do you have a video on servicing the transmission on my 2014 2.1 4 cyl sprinter or can you suggest one for me. Thanks again, David
David Webb thanks David I'm glad it help you ,i don't have any video on the transmission yet .
but from my previous sprinter i changed the transmission oil on my 100000 miles and it was not hard just purchased the oil from amazon and filter and new gasket and it was easy but there is no dip stick for the transmission so you have to make sure you add the right amount of transmission oil thats all.
take care and thanks for watching
Great video, i know you bought a new 3.0l sprinter van, do you still own the 2.1l? are you gonna be doing further maintenance videos?
Ben Bennett thanks Ben but no i sold the 2014 4 cilinder
Sorry but if I can help you in any way just ask
Thank you for helping with the video. what is the best brand for fuel filters? Thank you!!
That's a great question
I placed the link on the description below is one of the best ones that I use for my Sprinter
Great video, thank you
Thank you for watching
I love your videos. I'm looking to buy my first sprinter and your videos are encouraging. I love a vehicle I diy.
hairtoo1 thank you for watching, and i know you will love your sprinter, i just order a new one 2017 i should get it by june ,i order this one with a V6 3.0 for more towing power.
i will post it wen i get it in july.

thanks for waching my Channel
+Mercedes Sprinter DIY can't wait to see it. I'm considering ordering a 2017. Still the 2016s are all that available.
hairtoo1 yes in the dealers they only have 2016
wen you order one you can build it the way you want it and remembe for 2018 models the front will have a new look but i dont know how it would look so i reather have 2017 now because i know what it looks now.
+Mercedes Sprinter DIY ill probably end up with a 2017. Btw are you selling your current sprinter?

Tank you 🤝it was helpful👍
Glad to hear that
So the first clip you remove off the top of the filter - before the hoses is the 5 pin sensor clip - correct?
I think so
what engine looks like the 4 cyl ,not the 6 diesel, can you confirm, I am trying to find the proper filter for a 2014 6 cyl diesel if any one know s this please reply or post it will be very helpful thanks
yes this is a 4 cyl i have another video on my channel on a V6 3.0 but is a 2017 but it coul be the same filter check it out in my channel👍
Great video thank you. Do you know which size clamp is needed for the hoses?
No idea buddy i purchased the whole kid👍 from amazon
@@mercedessprinterdiy8556 I ended up doing the same, any excuse for some extra stock in the garage 😄
@@mercedessprinterdiy8556 I’ll post up the size here for others when I get it changed over
@@JayGee6996 yes is better that way if you need them they are there👍👍
Knipex Tools 85 51 180 C, what a pro would use so they don't distort or damage the clamp
please re due the video and had big spot light coz the engine well it so dark or maybe the future video ! thanks sir
Did you pull the fuel pump fuse to decompress the fuel line?
Adventures of the hillbilly deluxe family sanderson no that is not necessary
Any way to do another one with better lighting? Please?
yes as soon as my van is due again i will make a better one , sorry about the lighting
I have a sprinter 2015. I also do my own service. Service B states I'm 1400 miles over even though I have only 29k miles on it. I thought every 20 k service due. I'm in AC business. Don't run truck hard. I have cut all of my service in half. I change oil and oil filter every 10 k. Fuel filter as well. Always buy Mercedes OEM parts for it too. I reset service A when it came up and after I did my own service. Am I over doing it?
the oil and oil filter is great at 10000 miles. but you fuel filter is not needed that soon especially they are not cheap.
but you are saving alot by doing it your self, great job
Are you showing how to change the filter in the dark?
my bad i had terrible lighting 😢
Were does the end of the drain hose connects to, does it connect to another hose
no in my case it just faces to the ground next to the engine
2:54 that is the water separator drainage hose
The drainage hose is the one that is just hanging out on the side of it pointing down to the floor
Good job
Thanks
Need some light to see next time
Buddy my apologies
What is the interval for changing fuel filter ?
Right of my head I believe is between 30 to 40000 miles
Would it be much different on 2011?
not 100 % sure but is may be very similar 👍
Good evening friend, could you tell me the reference of the fuel filter?
Hello and is a Mahle KL 949
Yeasterday i put gas in a 2018 , diesel Sprinter by mistake . Did almost 3 km to home and right there i recognize a not normal engine shake . Just drain the whole tank now with a pomp. Do u have any experience like that ? What u suggest me to do in advance ?
The fuel filter have a valve that you can open while the keys in the ignition and it will take out fuel from the tank what I would do in your case is at diesel fuel empty yet add more diesel fuel in empty it so you can take all that residue of gasoline also gasoline's likes to vent out and Diesel usually stays in the tank.
So sorry that you had to go through this issue Captain but it happens to a lot of people
I just change fuel filter to make sure even though I changed couple weeks ago and i dont think was necessary but still changed. Filled the tank with diesel and everything works fine. The car doesnt have any problem now at all . Just did 100 km after. I really hope to help anyone who will have the same problem. Thanks for your answer bro !!
@@autochthonous3141 that is awesome Captain I'm glad that you got your van back together that was a scary moment for you
Thanks man ! Actually its really hard to pay couple thousand in this situation we're going through. Wish u all the best and take care of your self !
@@autochthonous3141 you to buddy and thank you for watching and be safe.
and be safe.
and if you like the sea and fishing check out my CZcams Channel Out On The Reef is ware i travel to different tropical islands.
Thanks
you are welcome , saludos👍👍
Where did you buy your filter from? also I want to start doing my own oil changes where should I get the oil from?
I see some on ebay and what not that do not have that electronic component on the fuel filter so I am assuming they are the wrong ones. I am approaching 30,000 miles on mine.
Rick Blaga the fuel filter i purchase got it on amazon and came with the electronic part.
and the motor oil got it in amazon too and the filter i got it in Napa auto parts but you can get it on amazon too
Rick Blaga and thanks for watching and subscribing
What are they called?
Rick Blaga sorry i was writing from my other channel.
you want to know the name of the oil?
I just wondering how much you pay genuine mercedes-benz fuel filter since aftermarket in europe is ,24€,thank you for video.
I don't remember exactly how much they were but I think they're between 35 to $40
You need a headlamp. Can't see anything??
I know i will make another video soon, sorry about that
You can’t see a dam thing. How about a trouble light or at least a flashlight.
Sorry about that gym I had bat lighting
Hello, I have a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter. I have loss of power. Wont go more then 5 miles per hour. DEF light came on but fluid is full. Do you have an Idea what could be the problem??
David Oropeza Hello, how many miles does your sprinte have
84000
Try the fuel filter change its full of water?
David Oropeza hello David did you found out what was your issue sorry I didn't get back to you soon
Let me try it.. I will let you know
I couldn't even tell which engine that was.. TOO much contrast need a proper camera with proper lighting
I apologize and you are right
I will make a new video on the future.
Thanks for taking the time and letting me know
Anytime you are working with fuel its best to disconnect the battery.
you are so right
thanks
Need better lighting man, can't see anything .
Sorry about that
so much more complicated than the duramax. It is just a screw on filter like an oil filter.
Richard Davis-Minter i know but you only changed it 40000 miles is not bad at all
Sorry, I have the medium duty version, Kodiak 4500 and there is nothing in the way of the filter.
SRVstiger I agree
SRVstiger thanks buddy and thank you for watching
