Yet again I come asking for advice from this community that has helped myself and many others before me. Before I lay out what is going on, I want to thank you all again for the many helpful contributions over the years with troubleshooting these awesome vans with their basket of idiosyncrasies...
I was going to make a new cable harness from the ecu to the Engine but I can't find what all the different connectors are called
So does anyone know their name or happens to know where to buy them loose
Hello all,
03' OM612 SHC with rear AC
150k miles on the clock
I started up my van this morning to a low coolant light on the dash. Looked under the van and there was about a cup or two of G05 on the ground. I topped off the coolant then drove it around and found an aggressive leak dripping...

Hello guys,
I just set off on a long trip and about 500 miles into the drive, I was put into LHM with no boost and lots of black smoke from the tailpipe. Also, for context, in the past few months I’ve noticed a more than usual amount of black smoke from the tailpipe with heavy acceleration to...
Hey All!
Thanks in advance for the help!
I recently replaced the fuel filter on my 2003 Dodge Sprinter 2500. I had some issues getting the fuel filter to prime (as always) after replacing it. I cranked the starter for quite a bit... The issue ended up being due to a crack in one of the fuel...
Used to work for Boston Freightliner which was a Sprinter dealer. My best friend and I were the Sprinter tech's and i was always fond of 904's (referred to as T1N's apparently). Well, finally got an '03 3500 158" high roof in 2014, aprx 80k miles. Did preventive & necessary maintenance work to...
Recently my OM612 has developed an idle surge at cold start. It starts with a normal cadence but after a few seconds it begins to surge. The surge lasts for about 5 seconds then returns to normal. Video:
I’ve been getting some intermittent fuel rail pressure sensor codes the past few months...
Hi everybody! I just bought a MB Sprinter T1N (w903) 316 CDI (om612 motor) and I'm hoping to fix some issues and put it in the best shape possible. As you might know, some parts are difficult to find and I was wondering, in general, if some parts of the om612 are compatible with newer motors...
I’m getting ready to change out the fuel filter on my 03’ Sprinter with the OM612 engine.
I’ve read several posts here describing the fabrication of specialized adaptors and priming tools with difficult to source components. Others suggest it doesn’t have to be complicated and to simply prime...
So I believe the engine has died in my camper, it has the 2.1 which has been underwhelming. The turbo hasn't played ball since I've drove it the last 18 months and did 20k+ miles. It might just be the turbo but definite burning of oil and what sounded like a flywheel catching on the gearbox...
I put in a big order to a European parts company a couple years ago and accidentally ordered the OM612 water pump, but my van is an '06 with the OM647. Brand new in the box with gaskets, been stored inside.
I'm asking $60 shipped but am open to offers. Part number is VKPC 88850.
Hi. We have a small sprinter bus with om612 engine. It has 5 speed manual gearbox and is very noisy to drive over 70 km/h. Is there a suitable 6 speed manual or an automatic tranny suitable for this engine?
Price for set of 5 - $1,250 ($250/injector)
I bit the bullet and replaced all 5 injectors on my 2003 OM612 Engine. 2,759 miles later, my engine died (or so I thought - really it was just the flex plate that went south lol). All to say, I got a brand new engine put in and the guys who installed...
Hi All,
I recently purchased a 2003 T1N OM612 Dodge Sprinter and am in need of some advice sorting out some electrical problems I have had. The van has a loss of power issue, that I suspect is a result of an EGR Valve Open Circuit code (P1043-8, EGR/ARF valve - Cable has Open circuit.) that I...
Hi everyone, I was wondering if some of the T1N experts can help me with an engine harness question. I have a 2003 3500 that had an engine seize in January. I since bought another OM612 from a friend in Rhode Island. As far as he and I are concerned, then engines are identical. However, once I...
2003 T1N OM612
so i had to replace some of my fuel hoses recently and once i was ready to prime the low pressure pump i found that there was nothing i could do to eliminate air bubbles coming from the filter into the clear fuel hose.
i even removed the supply line and connected my vacuum pump...
After a crank no start situation I discovered air entering my fuel system at the clamps near the fuel filter. So now my 2003 2500 needs new fuel hoses and clamps. I found this kit on europarts.
I'm wondering if anyone can shine a light on this repair and any quirks I might expect to come...
I've got a 2003 2500 that's crank no start. I bought it and immediately drove it 1600 miles home with no issues. The day after it wouldn't start. Learned that glow plugs 3, 4, 5 were showing error codes as well as fuel rail pressure. Replaced all 5 glow plugs, glow plug relay and fuel filter. It...
I replaced my blown engine with one from a German E series wagon , OM612 but I swapped out the intake , low pressure pump and oil cooler . Ran fine but I noticed an oil leak at turbo so went ahead and installed a new cartridge . Now the Sprinter falls into LHM . I guess the new cartridge may...
