Just a heads-up for everyone having a 2007 or later Sprinter with over 100K miles - the point where your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is due to start causing problems. I guess I was lucky to get 360K miles on mine before it crapped out. If yours gets to the point where it won't regen, your engine check light will come on & stay on 'til resolved. You can usually get them blown out at several locations around the country, at a cost of around $300-$400, but in my case, the filter was too far gone. Bingo - here we go - I found an after-market DPF made by Road Warrior for $2,250 (Mercedes original is $2,550) and had it installed by my Sprinter shop. Well guess what - the on-board computer module still wouldn't do a regen, even after replacing a "Differential Pressure Sensor". So looks like another $1,400 to replace the computer module. All this after replacing front ball-joints for another $1,200.
Just sayin - be aware of the cost liability if you choose to keep your Sprinter. The above ramblin' isn't a "complaint" - just to inform as to the intricacies and costs associated with modern-day diesel exhaust systems. (This doesn't even mention the add'l DEP unit complexities added to 2010 models & up!)
PS: I also tried getting a "delete pipe" setup as an alternative to a new filter (albiet illegal), but it appears the EPA has just about shut down all these folks!
