►Diesel fuel can have harmful particles floating within it, so replacing a dirty fuel filter is critical to engine performance. A dirty filter will have reduced flow and hurt fuel delivery, lowering available power and engine performance. Thankfully, the Mercedes Sprinter has a relatively easily accessed filter, making replacement a DIY job.
Mercedes' OM642 3.0L V6 turbodiesel is a workhorse found in many vehicles, so your engine might take three possible fuel filters. Each is specific to its application, so be sure to know your engine's requirements before digging in. Once you have the right filter, you're all set.
Follow along with Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, as he replaces the fuel filter on a Mercedes Sprinter 2500.
