Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Engine Mount

The Sprinter moved from the second generation (W906, 2006–2018) to the third generation (W907, 2018 onwards), so a 2014 mount and a 2018 mount may or may not be the same generation depending on exactly when your 2018 vehicle was built and registered. Because this boundary sits right at 2018, you should confirm with the breaker using your registration or VIN to establish which generation your van actually is before ordering. Engine code is the most reliable detail to supply alongside your reg.

Yes — engine code matters above everything else for engine mounts on the Sprinter, because mount design follows the engine and its ancillary layout rather than the badge or body size. The engine code is printed on your V5C and can also be retrieved via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker is the single most useful thing you can do. Quoting just 'Sprinter 2.1' or '2.2' is not enough, as different codes within those displacements can have different mounting configurations.

Body style does not affect engine mount fitment — the mount is determined by the engine, not whether the van is a panel van, Tourer, chassis cab or any other body variant. What matters is your engine code, fuel type, gearbox type (manual or automatic), and the production year within the correct generation. Tell the breaker your engine code and registration and they can cross-reference the correct mount regardless of body style.

Gearbox type can affect engine and transmission mount configurations, so you should not assume a mount from a manual van will be a straight swap onto an automatic without checking. Supply the breaker with your engine code, gearbox type, and registration so they can confirm the correct part for your drivetrain. Never assume fitment based on year and engine size alone if the gearbox differs.

The W906 Sprinter ran from 2006 to 2018 and received a facelift in 2013, and while many mechanical components carried over, mounting and ancillary details can change within a generation at mid-production points. The safest approach is to match engine codes exactly and confirm with the breaker whether the specific year of the donor vehicle is compatible with yours, rather than assuming all W906 years are interchangeable. Providing your registration and engine code gives the breaker the best chance of confirming a good match.

Trim level has no bearing on engine mount fitment whatsoever — Progressive, Premium, Select and any other trim designation are commercial specification packages that relate to cab comfort, load-area features and technology rather than the engine or its mounting. What determines the correct mount is your engine code, fuel type, gearbox type, and generation. You can safely buy from a van of a different trim level provided the mechanical details match.
