If you own a Mercedes Sprinter from between 2006 and 2018, you might be well acquainted with the challenges and potential issues that can arise with its engine. As a Master Tech Mechanic with over 15 years of hands-on experience in the automotive industry, I’ve seen my fair share of engine troubles. But when it comes to a reconditioned engine for the Mercedes Sprinter, a thorough understanding of the issues, symptoms, and repair processes is essential for making informed decisions about your vehicle.
The typical issues that plague the Mercedes Sprinter’s engine range from minor wear and tear to more grave complications. Common symptoms indicating a need for a closer look include unusual noises, a loss in power, excessive oil consumption, and abnormal exhaust emissions. Often, these symptoms arise from turbocharger failures, injector problems or issues within the engine's internal components such as the pistons and crankshaft.
The reconditioning process for a Mercedes Sprinter engine often involves completely dismantling the engine, cleaning all components, and replacing any damaged or worn parts. The engine block and cylinder heads usually undergo thorough inspections and machining to ensure they meet specific tolerance levels. Replacing common fault items like the turbo, injectors, and timing chain is also a standard part of the recondition process, ensuring that everything is up to the mark and guarantees the smooth running of your vehicle.
While repairing or replacing the engine of your Mercedes Sprinter is an option, the process can be both costly and time-consuming. Have you considered the simpler alternative of selling your van? Vandervan offers a straightforward solution where you can receive a quote in seconds, with the possibility of next-day vehicle collection from any location in the UK and instant payment to your chosen account.
Choosing to sell your Mercedes Sprinter rather than undergoing extensive repairs or engine reconditioning can be more economically viable, particularly when you consider the potential value lost over time and the cost of repairs. Selling your van allows you to quickly transition to a newer model with better performance, fuel efficiency, and updated features. Furthermore, you alleviate the risk of future mechanical problems.
If you want to avoid the hassle and expense associated with repairing an old engine, why not visit Vandervan’s website and explore a simpler, more cost-effective alternative? We provide expert valuation that ensures the best deal for your vehicle, allowing you to invest in a newer, more reliable van that meets your needs.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
