Vernon B Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Can anyone tell me where I can find a technical spec for the current Merc Euro Sprinter 316 - the 163 hp unit? I've tried in the obvious places, including the Merc Website and it doesn't appear to exist. I'd be very grateful V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Try here http://www.roadtransport.com/ROADTESTSRESULTS/72/4/mercedes-benz-sprinter-316-cdi.html C. Mind you the words say 5 cylinder but the figures suggest 4. Old 316 was a 5 pot New 316 is a 4 pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I wouldn't put too much faith in that website Clive, they've got it down as FWD :-S . D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon B Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for trying Clive. Apart from Dave's observations it would also appear that the info is only valid for engines up to 2005/6. Anyway I've finally got thro to a Merc salesmen who appears to know his stuff. For anyone else who may be interested he told me that the 316 engine ceased production in 2008 to be replaced by the 315 (makes sense doesn't it?) for 2009. The 316 was Euro 4 compliant, the 315 is Euro 5 complaint - perhaps that's where the "5" came in. Both units are based on a 4 cyclinder 2.2 litre engine. The 316 developed 163 hp and the 315 has been throttled back to 150 hp. (Perhaps achieving Euro 5 requirements was simply a re-chipping job?). Both units provide 280 nm of torgue @ 2000-2400 rpm - far less and at higher revs than the Fiat 3.0 Litre I think. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
