Couldn't find the right filter for my 2003 until I watched a video of someone with a 2005 Sprinter doing a filter change. So, yes, absolutely take a good picture of your filter and a picture, and match it up that way. Thanks for this video!
Once I found the correct filter for my van, I tore the box part # off the box and used clear tape and tape it underneath my hood, so I would know next time what filter to order. It took 2 tries ordering before I got a direct replacement. I also use fuel injection reusable clamps .
@@kayakwesty im sure those clamps are a great option. It’s also good to hear I’m at least shedding some light on a problem many people have. Also good to hear from you again. I know you have been with the channel for at least two years now. Haha
I’m running 2 of these engines, sprinter and ml and have always had issues with water sensor orings leaking and pooling on top of the filter. After years of that nonsense I switched to the filter without the sensor (mann wk8201) and have been much happier. In the ml sensor was unplugged and removed and in sprinter it was zip tied off to the side. I understand there’s a danger of getting bad fuel and not knowing, however after a decade of it not happening I doubt I’ll have any issues..

Where do I buy hose clamps? Thanks for the video
Well honestly the stealership might just be the least expensive for these. Online options don't seem too affordable

nice, I am swapping an ML engine into my a sprinter as we speak. Also thats interesting, I did not realize you could get one without a sensor
@@sprinterfixI saw that. If you need me to take a photo or look anything up don’t hesitate. Both of them are 2008.
Where do I get clamp pliers?
