Mercedes Sprinter and V-Class parts from Dubai

Sprinter. Series code, base and height

For the Sprinter, there are W906, and for the newer series, the designations 907 and 910. Verify the body code and drive circuit by VIN. Even within one generation, you need to specify the wheelbase, roof height and body type. All-metal van, passenger version and chassis with superstructure require a different list of elements. When searching for a sidewall or sliding door, specify the side, the length of the opening and the presence of glazing.

At the rear doors, the height of the opening, the type of hinges, glass, locks and wiring are compared. If you buy a pair, check whether pens, limiters, seals and hinges are sold along with the panels. On a long body, it is easy to confuse the rear section of the tourniquet or ductwork if the ad indicates only a year. For a re-equipped van, send photos of the actual fastener and note which elements relate to the superstructure.

The OM651 and OM654 engines are found on different versions of the Sprinter, and in the documentation for individual versions and years, the OM642 is found. The full engine code and the composition of the exhaust cleaning system are confirmed by the car. For the engine or box, the drive circuit and the mounted attachments are additionally checked. If the engine has already been changed, take a picture of the marking on it: VIN will show the factory equipment, which may have changed.

V-Class W447. Doors, lounge and drive

For the V-Class W447, the body length, year, restyling and equipment are specified at the first stage. Externally similar Vito also belongs to the family 447, however, the compatibility of a particular door, skin or electronic unit is confirmed separately. On the sliding door, specify the manual or electric drive, type of glass, lining and wiring. For seats and interior parts, photos of rails, mounting places and connectors are useful.

In diesel versions of the V-Class, the OM651 and OM654 families are found. The family code helps to find the direction of the search, but does not give the finished number of the turbine, control unit or injector. For the box you need full marking and information about the drive. If the engine is sold with ancillary components, list separately the turbine, fuel equipment, starter, generator and wiring. So the buyer and the supplier will compare the same set.

On the headlamp and front bumper, check the optics, holes for sensors, grilles and brackets. If the front part is damaged, take a picture of the undamaged side. This helps determine the shape of the lining and the type of headlights installed if the damaged part has already been removed. The picture from the seller should show both the outside and the inside.

On a Sprinter with a passenger cabin or refurbishment, it is useful to separate factory and added heating units. Attach photos of ducts, connections and equipment plates. If you need a fan, heater radiator or tube, record whether the part serves the front or back area. In long cars from one generation, the track can depend on the base and performance. For a re-equipped body, ask the installer to mark the places where the standard element connects to the details of the superstructure.

For a V-Class with an electric sliding door, check the cause of the malfunction first. The door may not work due to drive, mounting, roller, tourniquet or other element. Diagnosis helps to understand whether you need a door in the assembly or a separate part. On the drive, request his number, side and photo of the plug. If you order a door from a donor, check whether it is possible to transfer your skin and glass and whether the mounts coincide with the actual body.

GCC, Europe and the United States. What Changes When Selecting

For Mercedes from the UAE and Europe, specific engines, cooling, headlights and equipment are important. Compare catalogue performances by VIN. According to the North American Sprinter, specify the engine, lighting functions, harnesses and exhaust system equipment. If the part is removed from the right-hand drive car, separately check the optics and panel details, depending on the steering wheel position. When ordering an air conditioning unit, it is important to clarify the presence of the rear climate circuit.

The GCC label is useful for the original filter. It does not determine, for example, the type of radiator for different power plants or the configuration of the V-Class for the seats. Ask for a photo of the marking and VIN of the donor, if available. For the used block, agree in advance with the installer the possibility of adaptation. Coding, pairing, and tuning depend on the specific node and vehicle.

Inspection and frequent errors

At the rear doors of the Sprinter, the lower edges, hinge zones and racks around the castle are inspected. On the sliding door, check the guide, rollers and areas of fixation. In the interior skin of the V-Class, the reverse side, clips and configuration with buttons are important. For the seat, specify the type of base, rails and electrical equipment. If the part is purchased for the sake of restoring one function, ask for a photo of the desired connector and a separate confirmation of completeness.

A common mistake is to look for a door by one generation number with no base or height. The second is to assume that the parts of the Vito and V-Class automatically fit together. The third is to order the engine under the designation OM654 without full marking and check the ancillary components. When comparing offers, keep in front of you one list of the desired positions and note what can be transferred from the old unit.

Separately check the coloring and method of repairing the panels. On the working van, geometry and the condition of the lower edge are important. On the V-Class with decorative moldings, you need to additionally check the points of their attachment and traces of dismantling. A photograph of the door in the closed position on the donor does not show whether the mechanism is running freely. If verification is possible, ask for a video of opening and closing, and then a photo of the removed panel from the back. So it is easier to separate the state of the mechanism and the state of the door itself.

At the car after a frontal impact, ask the master what guides, ducts and supports remained intact. In the proposal for the front set, it is useful to decompose the external lining, headlights, amplifier and cooling on separate lines. If you compare different sentences, mark in front of each line whether the fastener is included. A used panel may require parts to be moved from the old one, and a new one may go without them. On the working machine, it is useful to find out in advance whether consumables are available from the installer, so as not to delay the assembly after receipt.

Packaging of long panels and delivery

At the door or sidewall need fixation with the protection of edges and protrusions. A long threshold or guide requires a support that does not allow the detail to bend. The electric drive of the door and the fragile skin protect against contact with heavy nodes. The engine or box is fixed on a solid base. Open holes are closed, the requirements for the residues of liquids are specified by the carrier.

Air to Russia and Belarus - approximately 5-10 days and $12-20 per kg. The container to Moscow is about a month and $1.8-3.5 per kg. The time and cost are confirmed separately. For Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, the route is calculated on request. There is no minimum order value. Commission only on the price of parts: 10%. Packaging, transportation and customs separately.

For a machine with a non-standard configuration, a photo of the factory plate next to the general picture of the body is useful. On the door, attach an image of the opening as a whole and the locking zone. For the chassis with the superstructure, specify the model of the superstructure itself, if known. This data helps to separate the Mercedes parts from the elements added by the body manufacturer, and not to include in the order a similar part from another van.

If the desired door is sold with glass, ask about the marking and condition of the edges. For transportation of glass inside the door additionally agree fixation and protection against impacts.
