WARNING:Wallet Enema Alert!
I have not read accounts of this temperature sensor being damaged, however, IMHO the sensor is located in an area subject to potential shoe damage or sabotage. I don't believe a Sprinter will function very well without it. Might be good idea to carry a spare. Cost under $100.00.
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
There you are...and entire family... a cold, wintry snowy night hundreds of miles from the nearest dealership. Fuel low, so you pull in. While filling up, you place your foot in the footwell center of the bumper to boost yourself to clean the windshield. Unknowingly, your shoe shears the brittle plastic temperature probe aka Bob's Dick. Hop in and a few miles down the road you're in the dreaded Limp Home Zone. There are no sign posts up ahead or competent repair facilities. Only a serious "Wallet Enema" in your future.
What's in your repair kit?
