    Mercedes Sprinter Review, For Sale, Specs, Colours, Models & News

    The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter replaced the ancient T1 van in 1995 internationally, but the first version didn’t arrive in Australia until 1998. Now spanning three generations, the Sprinter is a commercial staple Down Under, serving on delivery and ambulance fleets around the country. It sits a size above the Vito/V-Class in the Mercedes-Benz commercial line-up.

    The line-up currently starts at $65,839 for the Sprinter 311CDI VS30 MWB RWD and ranges through to $110,615 for the range-topping Sprinter 417CDI VS30 MWB 15S Transfer.

    Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Q&As

    Check out real-world situations relating to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

    • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2004: How high should the temp gauge go?

      Normally it should be about halfway on the scale, but it could go higher than that and not be a problem as long as it doesn’t get close to the top mark.

    • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter reduce old level error

      If it happened shortly after a service it's probably been over-filled when the oil was changed. Draining a small amount of oil out of the engine should fix it. If that's not the cause it could be a faulty sensor, and it might need replacing. If it's happening regularly, and you know the oil fill was correct it could be diesel fuel getting into the oil through a faulty injector.

    • Best platform for a motorhome?

      I've driven both and much prefer the Sprinter. The "manumatic" in the Fiat is not good and I prefer the way the Benz sits on the road, how it performs over bumps and its resistance to crosswinds.

      Show more
    • Sprinter van gearbox problems

      The Sprintshift gearbox is an automated shift manual unit, so I would have the ECU controlling the gearbox checked to find out why it's going into auto mode all the time. I would also seek some form of guarantee from the dealer covering the injectors, and perhaps find out where they're coming from.
