Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Fuel Injector

The first-generation Sprinter ran from 1995 to 2006, and the second generation (W906) launched in 2006 - these are entirely different platforms with different engines, so injectors do not cross that boundary. Even within each generation, the engine code is the deciding factor, not the model year alone. Always confirm your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before ordering, and the breaker will match against that rather than the year.

Both years fall within the W906 generation (2006-2018), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match - the 2.1-litre CDI units (commonly coded OM651) were used across a wide span of that generation. However, there were running production changes within the W906 lifespan, so confirm the full engine code with the breaker against your registration to be certain. Never assume year-to-year compatibility without that check.

Yes, all Sprinter variants are diesel engines and use direct fuel injection, so every Sprinter has fuel injectors - typically common-rail diesel injectors that deliver fuel at high pressure directly into the combustion chamber. This applies across all generations from the original W901-W905 series through to the W906 and the current W907/W910 generation from 2018 onwards. If you are replacing one, getting the exact engine code is essential because injector specifications vary between the different CDI units.

No, trim level and body style make no difference to injector fitment on the Sprinter - a Panel Van and a Tourer or minibus with the same engine code will use identical injectors. What matters entirely is the engine code, the displacement, and the fuel system generation. Focus on confirming your engine code rather than worrying about which body variant you have.

The current-generation Sprinter (W907/W910) launched in 2018 and uses updated engine variants, so injectors from that generation are very unlikely to be compatible with the outgoing W906 (2006-2018) even where displacement looks similar on paper. The engine codes between generations differ, and the common-rail injection systems were revised. Confirm both engine codes with the breaker before proceeding.

The gearbox type does not directly affect injector fitment - injectors are matched to the engine, not the transmission. The engine code, fuel system generation, and cylinder count are what the breaker needs to source the correct part. That said, always supply your full registration or VIN so the breaker can cross-reference everything and rule out any ancillary differences on your specific vehicle.
