New Mercedes Sprinter Turbo – Ref. 57509880000

Identifying the correct turbo reference for your Mercedes Sprinter

Before placing any order, it is essential to check the reference marked on the plate or housing of your old turbo, as well as the engine code found on the Mercedes Sprinter's engine block. This new turbo is compatible with the main reference 57509880000, corresponding to the 2.7 CDI diesel engine with engine code OM647 fitted to certain versions of the Sprinter (216 CDI, 316 CDI, 416 CDI, 616 CDI depending on configuration). Cross-checking the reference on your original part against those listed on this page will help you avoid any ordering errors.

OM647 2.7 CDI engine compatibility on the Sprinter

The OM647 engine fitted to the Sprinter is a 5-cylinder 2.7-litre diesel, well regarded for its durability under intensive commercial use. This new turbo has been designed to restore the boost pressure required by this engine block, whether in urban use or under heavy load on long runs — both typical of this type of commercial vehicle. We always recommend confirming an exact match with the reference engraved on your old turbo before ordering, as engine variants may differ depending on the market and year of first registration.

Exchange and warranty for this Sprinter turbo

This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of your old turbo is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Sprinter is not left off the road during the process. A 12-month parts warranty applies, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments, to help manage your budget.

Advice before fitting on the OM647 engine

On this diesel engine, which powers commercial vehicles that are often worked extremely hard, premature turbo failure is frequently caused by inadequate lubrication — typically the result of using the wrong grade of engine oil or failing to keep up with oil changes. A clogged air filter or a cracked intercooler can also accelerate turbo wear by disrupting the air intake. Before fitting the new turbo, check the condition of the oil circuit, ensure the hoses are clean, and confirm there are no air intake leaks. When starting the engine for the first time, it is essential to prime the turbo with oil to ensure the bearings are lubricated immediately from the very first start-up, reducing the risk of early seizure on this type of commercial engine.
