FAQs

Q1: How do I verify if this turbo fits my Sprinter? 

Please check the nameplate on your old turbocharger for the part number 454207-5001S or the Mercedes number A6020960899. These first-gen Sprinters are very specific, so matching the "A602..." OEM number is the safest way to ensure fitment.

Q2: My old turbo is marked 454184-0001. Is this compatible? 

Yes. 454184-0001 is an earlier version of this turbocharger. Our 454207-5001S is the updated, direct interchange for all the part numbers listed, providing identical performance and improved reliability.

Q3: Does the turbo come with gaskets? 

We typically include a high-quality gasket kit for the oil inlet and exhaust connections to ensure a leak-free installation. We recommend using new gaskets every time a turbo is replaced.

Q4: What is the most important installation tip for the Sprinter OM602? 

Because these engines are often high-mileage, you MUST check the Oil Feed Line for blockages. Also, replace the Engine Oil and Oil Filter. A fresh start with clean oil is the best way to protect the precision bearings of your new turbo.

Q5: Do you provide worldwide shipping? What is the delivery timeframe? 

We ship globally via premium carriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS, as well as sea freight for bulk orders. In-stock items are typically dispatched within 24–48 hours. Express delivery to North America and Europe usually takes 5–7 business days.
