Used Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Inlet Manifold

This crosses a significant generation boundary: the W906 Sprinter ran from 2006 to 2018, with a facelift in 2013, while the W907/W910 generation launched for 2018, so a manifold from a 2014 W906 is very unlikely to fit a 2018 W907/W910 model. Even within the same generation, engine code is the critical factor — a manifold from a 2014 Sprinter will only be a reliable match for a 2018 model if both share the exact same engine code. Supply your engine code (from your V5 or a VIN check) to the breaker so they can confirm compatibility rather than relying on year alone.

No — the 2.2 CDI (OM651 or OM646 depending on generation) and the 3.0 CDI (OM642) are completely different engines with different manifold designs, so their inlet manifolds are not interchangeable. Fuel type also matters: all mainstream Sprinters sold in the UK are diesel, but you should still confirm your exact engine code with the breaker, as even within the 2.2 CDI family there were variants with different manifold configurations. Always quote your engine code when requesting a quote — it is more useful than engine size alone.

No — body style and trim configuration make no difference to inlet manifold fitment on the Sprinter; what matters is solely your engine code, fuel type, and which generation your van belongs to. A Panel Van and a Chassis Cab built at the same time with the same engine code will use the same inlet manifold. Just confirm your engine code with the breaker and the body style detail can be ignored entirely for this part.

The engine code is the single most important detail for matching a used inlet manifold — the most common UK Sprinter diesel engines are the OM651 (2.1 CDI, found in the W906 facelift from around 2011 and throughout the W907/W910), the OM646 (2.2 CDI, earlier W906 models), and the OM642 (3.0 CDI V6). You can find your engine code on your V5 registration document or by running a VIN check through a service such as HPI or a main dealer. Give this code directly to the breaker when requesting a quote — it removes guesswork and significantly speeds up finding the right part.

The W906 facelift in 2013 brought engine changes — notably the introduction of the OM651 replacing the earlier OM646 in many variants — so a pre-facelift manifold is unlikely to fit a post-facelift van unless both sides of the boundary happen to share the identical engine code. Even where the engine code matches across that 2013 boundary, there may have been ancillary or mounting changes mid-production that affect fitment, so you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume a match. Quoting your engine code gives the breaker everything they need to check this properly.

The vast majority of Sprinters sold in the UK are diesel, and the inlet manifold is a standard component on all of them regardless of engine variant. If you have a rare petrol-engined Sprinter, an inlet manifold still exists on it, but the part will be entirely different from the diesel versions and used examples will be much harder to source from UK breakers. Make sure you specify your fuel type and engine code clearly when contacting a breaker, as quoting the wrong fuel type could result in being sent an incompatible part.
