Sprinter T1N Engine Basics OM612 & OM647 Overview and Differences

[@RogerBJones-fy2de]

This was the most helpful video I have seen since I bought my van four years ago!

[@karenm6914]

I love your videos,, all explanation is clear and precisely, I learn a lot about my sprinter van thanks for you. Thanks a lot!!!

[@andreborges2106]

Have one of these on a C Class, thank you for the tour. Much appreciated 🙏

[@bobertdeath]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to explain the different components.

[@AncapistanVan]

Thank you :) Very helpful to have a reference during my engine swap.

[@billstewart3980]

Awesome tour, thanks Bill!

[@MrMoss786]

Great engine tour, 647 is the engine to go for..

[@garymorrison4675]

Excellent! info! . This vid has helped tremendously with getting to know my 2005 . Thank you Florida Van Man !

[@gregboyd4321]

OM612 beginner 101 great review. Should be a must see on rotten tomatoes video reviews high 80s. Will be anticipating the install sequel.

[@CorbinDeBec]

Nice tour. I'm looking forward to the Glow Plug video!

[@Nothing_to_see_here]

Great video! And style points for the coverall/poncho combo. Dig it!

[@80sDweeb]

Very informative. Looking forward to the glow plug module video.

[@ChrisLoew]

outstanding! Two years owning the 612 and still learned a couple parts (luckily no problems with them yet)

[@bnoble]

Thanks for the uploads! I just bought a sprinter and have no idea what’s going on with mine as far as HEAT and AC. Bought it and drove home 60 miles going about 60-65 mph no problem turbo sounds good but no heat I about froze my ass off here in Ohio it was freezing the other night. How do I fix my heat Mr Florida man... we love you..

[@bnoble]

Oh I have the 2.7 turbo diesel 2005 NT1 3500 dually model.

[@FloridaVanMan]

This video will help determine if the heat valve is working. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2XIeZ2LhLJgfcU Often when this valve fails people will add a shut-off valve or bypass it to stop heat blowing in the summer.

[@ChristopherWaldvogel-n2n]

Great videos, real and very informative thank you! Is there any way to check the pressure on the low and high pressure pumps? I have a 2001 sprinter with a 612 motor a previous owner has fitted and the EDC light came on, no power and stopped, took off positive battery lead and started again but would like to find the cause? Has new fuel filter, I have an Autel MaxiDiag Elite scanner and was getting codes Rail pressure too low and signal voltage too high, rail pressure leakage but seems to be running ok again now. Any thoughts on what, where to check so EDC light doesn't come on again? Also do you are there any extra profiles etc available that can be loaded into the scanner to find deeper data?

[@FloridaVanMan]

I don't know the MaxDiag Elite, only Autels AP200. I wouldn't expect to find any additional service packages helpful, but I've been wrong before. I would be testing the injector leak off and rail control leak off tests. Search our videos for "leak-off". There are 3 videos pertaining.

[@lonniestricklin6888]

Hey Bill, nice video, I need some advice on removing the oil filter housing on 05 sprinter?? Do you have that video?

[@FloridaVanMan]

The oil filter housing on a T1N is part of the timing chain cover. You are looking at a total engine disassembled for that. Head must come off. I don't have any videos that deep inside the engine (yet).

[@lonniestricklin6888]

thanks @@FloridaVanMan

[@brett639]

I just purchased a Dodge sprinter does the Mercedes ob2 scanner work for dodge too? Trying to buy a scanner and need advice. Thank you for any input!

[@FloridaVanMan]

We have links to the two most common code readers that work. Generic OBD readers will NOT work well. The little white one on my links page requires setup correctly and we have a video for that. Search my home page for "AP200 setup" video and be sure to download "Benz_Sprinter" , not Dodge, Mercedes or Freightliner on the new code reader. floridavanman.com/links

[@Akotel]

Hey love the videos. Quick question what steps need to be taken to swap out the 612 intake manifold to the 647 intake and how hard would it be to do it while the motor is still inside the van

[@FloridaVanMan]

I think the swap could be done without removing the engine, but it is going to be real hard to access some of the bolts to get the old manifold off. You will also need an EGR that fits the new manifold, a hose to route from the new EGR to the aux water pump, and the long bolts for the new manifold.

[@Akotel]

@@FloridaVanMan there is a 647 at a pick and pull near me. I’ve read that people just use a sawzall to cut the 612 mani out. Thanks for the help

[@FloridaVanMan]

@@Akotel I can't advise a sawsall anywhere near an engine intake chambers. I fear the shards of cut metal will get into the places we don't want them.

[@steviesb7480]

Testing oil pressure would be a great video. As these engines don't have a sensor.

[@kennethoros4043]

Thank You

[@MrBlankebw]

Do you have any T1N videos for windshield rust ? Thanks Bill

[@FloridaVanMan]

One coming up, but it is weeks away. I have the van, but not the time to work on it. We did some fairly major rust repair under the windshield on 2Blue (formerly Nero), but that wasn't a good video since I didn't really know what I was doing. I studied then tried, won't say I failed but I've learned a little that will make the next time least look like I know what I'm doing. lol

[@luisalonso4847]

I just bought a van with this type of engine here in Mexico city and there is the hose that holds the fuel pressure sensor that my friend the mechanic couldn't find where to connect it. Right at minute 4:40 I can see 2 white hoses one is the fuel pressure sensor and the other what would that be connected to? (5:06). Also you replaced de intake manifold of the om612 and install intake manifold om647 then what happens to the fuel pressure sensor is there a place to connect it on that om647 intake manifold?

[@FloridaVanMan]

It was some years ago, but I think the fuel sensor was zip tied to something. There is no place to mount it on the OM647 manifold. The other line seen at 4:40 must be the one that belongs on the fuel filter.

[@joemcgrath981]

I am about to do the intake manifold swap on my OM612. Is it a pretty straight forward bolt on job?

[@FloridaVanMan]

It is just nuts and bolts, no grinding or fabricating. But it did have some quirks I had to work out. You will need the longer bolts from the OM647 and a new EGR, of course. Some hoses will be different. It would have been much more difficult if I bought the manifold rather than pul it off a van I had here. Because I kept going back to the van to get more OM647 stuff.

[@billbridgeman799]

You have around a 2009 or 1000 sprinter for sale

[@FloridaVanMan]

I like the T1N Sprinters, up to model year 2006. The later models have more problems with DEF added and other problems. I have a 2006 low roof short length cargo van for sale and a 2004 long and tall van ready to build a camper van in it. It currently has a bed, sink, desk and air conditioning but it is ready for your custom floorpan. They are both listed in my Facebook group and on marketplace.

[@deanweller5789]

would you recommend leaving the plastic cover off the engine so you can keep an eye on the infamous "black death"?

[@FloridaVanMan]

Definitely NOT! Other things will get in there if the cover is left off. The seal between hood and van body often allows rain to sheet down the windshield and overcome the seal. This will puddle in the injector area and rust the injector bodies. This makes them real hard to remove! Mice will nest up there too if left parked, cats on cold nights with warm engine, nothing good can come from this. Removing 7 bolts every few months (8 bolts on OM612) is easy. Do put all the bolts back in or the holes will let in water. Battery ratchet makes this super easy. Like this: amzn.to/3hM0loG

I love watching your videos, Im starting my own buisness and Purchased a T1N Sprinter, Its the 1 stop shop to carry around all my tools and supplies, and I often worry because its getting older, But your videos give me faith in keeping this ol girl alive. Thank you :-)

[@yhshah21]

Is the Om611 and 0m612 the same?

[@FloridaVanMan]

No, we don't have any OM611 in the USA so I have not seen one up close. From pictures there are many differences.

hello there u seeam to know what you talk about. i have a sprinter w905 616 cdi 2001 i have problem with the abs pump running continus when the battery is connected. do you have some video about that problem how to diagnose? thanks in advance best regards Gonzalo

[@FloridaVanMan]

I've been lucky and not had to learn much about our ABS system. Sorry.

[@zambotv8150]

Why did you pull the engine?

[@FloridaVanMan]

The original engine keeps smoking. I tried everything to fix it and *tried to do compression tests. This engine runs without smoke, so the problem is for sure one of the parts that got swapped... maybe rings or valve guides in the old engine are bad. Or it *might be something else attached to the engine that I failed to diagnose?

[@zambotv8150]

@@FloridaVanMan Thanks for the reply, good luck with the engine swap. I look forward as ever to your updates
