Sprinter 4x4

[CGW Chestnut]

Hi Guys, thinking of getting an 06/07 4x4 sprinter mainly as a mobile workshop when on site and a bit of towing. Are they any good, what are the pros and cons, mpg etc?

If my memory serves me correct they are all over 3.5 ton so you will need a operators licence or at least a restricted operators licence.

Friend had 05 van one til a couple of years ago no op licence needed was fast furious but fursty. He did have problems with front hubs but always suspected it may have had front end smash at some point. Apart from that a good work horse😀

depends on spec, most are under 3'5 tonne, stay away from the v6 model, and ensure its got a good service history, most of the 4x4s were built by Iglhaut so some parts are very expensive

what the storey wirth the v6 version

[agrimog]

the v6 (3l) has a terrible reliability record, not really a commercial motor, plus only available with auto box

a small tip for anyone running a sprinter, or a LT 2 , apart from the engine and main ecu, 99% of the parts are interchangeable, so if its to expensive at the merc parts desk, try the vw commercial one, and vice versa, and you'll need the merc 16 pin adapter for both for any code readers
