The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van is a van used for commercial purposes such as delivery services, fleet services, shuttle services, mobile workshops, and limousine services. These vehicles feature a turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine and a 6-cylinder option was offered until it was discontinued in 2023.
Their diesel engines are typically paired with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) turbocharger that helps enhance the power and efficiency of the engine. If there is a problem with the turbocharger for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, you can replace the turbo with a remanufactured Sprinter turbocharger that is compatible with a range of Sprinter models.

What is the Garrett Turbocharger?
The Garrett Turbocharger is an OEM turbocharger designed to replace the turbochargers for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.7L and 3.0L diesel engines. These turbochargers are bolt-on, exact fit replacements so you can expect the same compatibility and performance provided by the turbocharger that originally came with the vehicle.
Garrett Sprinter turbos help increase the power of Sprinter engines by compressing air before it enters the engine where it mixes with fuel and burns within the engine. These turbochargers also include a wastegate actuator that allows for precise control of the boost output by diverting excess exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel within the turbo which controls the speed of the turbine and compressor.
The Garrett Sprinter turbocharger is considered one of the best aftermarket options for replacing the turbo in a Mercedes Sprinter van. The following are the benefits of a Garrett replacement turbocharger:
- Increased power: Garrett turbos increase the horsepower and torque of the engine which allows for better acceleration and towing capacity.
- Improved fuel economy: These turbos optimize combustion by using exhaust gases to spin the turbine which improves fuel efficiency.
- Reduced emissions: The combustion optimization of Garrett turbos helps reduce emissions.
- Reliable performance: Garrett turbos are highly durable and reliable turbos. The remanufactured Garrett turbos from HD Turbo have been properly rebuilt, balanced, and calibrated to perform as good as a new turbo.
- Direct fit: The Garrett turbocharger is designed to be a direct fit bolt-on replacement for Sprinter engines which simplifies the installation process.
- Precise control: Advanced technologies like the electronic wastegate actuator allows for precise boost control.
Sprinter Turbo Replacement: When to Replace Your Turbocharger
Problems with the turbocharger in Mercedes Sprinter vans can cause issues such as reduced engine power and fuel economy. If you notice any of the following issues with the turbo in your Sprinter van, it is time for a turbocharger replacement:
- Defective turbo actuator spring: The turbo actuator controls the flow of exhaust gas away from the turbine wheel which affects boost output. Wear and tear can damage the actuator spring which results in loss of engine power and lower boost pressure. Ignoring a defective actuator spring can lead to permanent engine damage.
- Turbo hose failure: The turbo hose connects the air intake system and the turbocharger and regulates the compressed air. If the hose becomes damaged due to wear and tear or excessive heat, it can cause the engine to loss power or go into limp mode.
- Turbo oil leak: Oil leaks inside the turbo may occur due to a blockage of the drain between the oil drain life and engine sump. Blockages cause an accumulation of oil that will leak into the turbine or compressor housing. If your engine loses power or goes into limp mode, check the turbo for oil leaks.
- Resonator leak: The resonator regulates the exhaust system which muffles the sound of the engine. If there is a problem with the resonator, you may notice loud noises or a strange odor coming from the exhaust system. A faulty resonator can also cause the engine to stall or lose power.
- Loss of power: If the Sprinter engine loses power, this could be due to a number of issues with the turbocharger, including a faulty actuator, faulty EFR valve, or leaking hoses, as well as many of the issues listed above. If you are not sure why your engine is losing power, it is best to have a professional run diagnostics on the engine and turbocharger.

- Loss of power: The engine does not accelerate at normal speeds or feels sluggish.
- Unusual noises: Noises such as whining, whistling, or whooshing sounds are coming from the engine during acceleration.
- Exhaust smoke: Excessive exhaust smoke that is blue or gray in color is an indicator of burning oil.
