A Weird Upgrade Every Sprinter Owner Needs

Another solution which would be 100 times better. Is a sealed system catch can. Where you can capture the oil and drain it out at regular intervals, and you wouldn't get the smell, or oil spraying off that filter when it gets soaked. Catch can kit is about $50 for a Chinese brand, they work as intended.

After a week of breathing that in you will look for another solution in form of Mann Provent oil catch can. I did this exact mod before the catch can on my om642 ML and you could see fumes coming out of the hood and grill. Not to mention that “blow by” was calculated in to the ecu with mass airflow sensor and adequate amount of extra fuel was ordered.

just found your channel 😊! Ive a 2004 t1n 2.2 l . i have this issue on mine its leaking and oiling everything 🙄 , why does this happen in the first place , is something worn or broken ?

You must wash the tiny filter inside the crankcase breather first that will release the pressure inside the engine there in no point fitting and after market filter as the original is blocked there is to much oil going to the new aftermarket breather it a breather not an oil separator you will have a mess of oil everywhere and smell off burned oil in the cab in time I like your idea off blocking the fume pipe I have done that to with great success

Awesome. 🎉thanks for doing the video. Nice of you to pass this gem along to the sprinter community.

The link to this part said no longer available! Is there somewhere else I can get one?

I have a sprinter 2012 with 2143cc OM651 Do you recommand to instal this kit preventive ? Thanks for your videos!

How do you do it in the picture of the old sprinter?

2019 Mercedes sprinter 2500 v6 turbo diesel. I occasionally notice a small blotch of oil on the garage floor. I do not believe it is a general oil leak, I feel that I notice this after we have used the van to tow a trailer and side by side. You mentioned this may occur when the turbo is put under load. Would it be possible that what you are describing would throw a small, individual splatter of oil on the cement floor, the engine bay seems clean and free of oil, is this bad for the engine? I have brought it to the dealership to "fix it once, maybe twice now" they have put a new clip on it under warranty. But i don't believe the dealership is worth a hoot. I wonder if I should try your method.

Hi, I am new to your work, I had a 2007 LWB Sprinter , In 2019 was travelling up a steep hill behind a long queue of lorries And they were all slowly slowing down so I decided to overtake drop-down gear into fourth exhilarated also there’s a big gosh oil blew out of my dipstick holder and the engine went into limp mode, I had the vehicle recovered and I was told I needed a new engine so for the time being I just drive around very slowly ended up ditching the van never found out exactly what was wrong with it do you have any idea what was wrong.

Are there specific directions to installing this breather? Total noob at this and want to get my head around how to do it right.

This may be a dumb question but why no mention of the engine's oil separator in this scenario> Doesn't it play a part in all this?

I'm goingnto try this on my 2010 ML350. That thing is burning through oil aomething crazy. Had Mercedes do an oil consumption test and they said its normal.

Hi you are dead right , what size is the filter connection and or hose will go purchase on and a reticulation block off fitting

What is the cap with the rubber valve called?

It says no longer available:(

Does this apply to 2008 2500dodge sprinter van?

this breather upgrade kit is not showing available through Amazon. Any other options?

it's not available on amazon anymore. what company makes this?

I am getting limp mode P0299 and have oil in the turbo hose..etc Would like to get the fix (Crankcase Breather for PVC) but it isn't on Amazon anymore. I have a 2004 Sprinter 2500 2.7L. Any help with either how to get the Breather for PVC or PVC part would be greatly appreciated!
