Engine

The car is equipped with an in-line four-cylinder unit OM 646 DE22LA with a power of 80 kW or 109 horsepower. Compared to its predecessors, the 2.15 liter Sprinter 311 engine has a number of advantages. For high-quality exhaust cleaning, an improved particulate filter and catalyst are provided. As a result, the number of harmful particles allows us to classify this model as Euro-5.

The II generation Common Rail fuel supply system provides an injection pressure of 1600 bar and includes 7-hole injectors. It guarantees an increase in the traction force of the Mercedes 311 at low shaft speeds, as well as a smooth acceleration. Shaft rotation speed – 3800 rpm, torque – 280 Nm.

Mercedes Benz Sprinter engines and official consumption rates

To expand the customer base, the manufacturer offers several powertrain options for this car. Reliable and high-torque diesel engines are more popular. Sprinters equipped with them have reduced fuel consumption, which is a decisive argument for carriers.

The manufacturer offers several options for gasoline engines, characterized by traditional reliability, the ability to operate in any climatic conditions and a long service life. The use of modern technologies has made it possible to significantly reduce their appetite, increasing the profitability of such cars.

Device

The machine is equipped with a large number of safety systems as standard. The electronic stabilization system ESP is part of the control system; it will not allow the car to suddenly change direction. ABS and ASR systems, reliable brakes, airbags and seat belts are also installed as standard and protect the driver of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Classic 311 CDI in emergency situations.

The main lighting is controlled by an automatic system. It evaluates the road situation, the level of illumination and determines the intensity of the glow. To operate the automatic system, a video camera is used, located above the front window of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Classic 311. It transmits a signal to the on-board computer, which turns the lighting on and off.

An unexpected lane departure will activate the warning system. This reduces the risk of accidents if the driver is distracted or falls asleep at the wheel. The beep will attract his attention and wake him up. A deliberate lane change is recognized by the system and therefore no audible signal is given.

Transmission

The interaction of a diesel engine and a six-speed manual or automatic transmission guarantees high technical performance and ease of control. To reduce fuel consumption in the mixed operating cycle, a large difference between the extreme gear ratios and a reduction in the engine shaft speed are provided.

The gearshift lever is located on the center console of the Mercedes Sprinter 311, which provides ease of use and frees up additional space in the cabin.

Driver's cabin

To manufacture the cabin, a stamping method is used, with which solid sheet metal is processed. The cabin has a hood design, and the main components are equipped with reinforcement elements. Safety is ensured by a large viewing angle and larger rear-view mirrors. The interior space of the cabin has a large volume, which ensures the comfort of two passengers and the driver.

Inside the cabin of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 311, three seats or seven (double-row cabin) can be installed. Finishing materials are of high quality, which ensures their durability and wear resistance. The operator's seat has lumbar support and heating, is covered with fabric, and is equipped with seat belts and headrests.

Being inside the car is just as pleasant as being in a passenger car. The steering wheel can be adjusted in height and tilt. Air conditioning is available as an option.

The interior lining of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Classic 311 is made of insulating materials, which guarantees driver comfort when transporting people and goods. The cabin is mounted on rubber cushions.

Steering and instrument panel

An option is to install a steering wheel with improved comfort indicators. This reduces operator workload and ensures operator comfort even on long trips. The Mercedes 311 multifunctional column with a voluminous rim and chrome elements increases safety.

There are four double buttons on the steering wheel, with which you control the on-board computer, radio volume, telephone, and Assyst maintenance system. Safety is ensured by placing both hands on the steering wheel.

Brake system

As standard, the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 311 truck is equipped with disc brakes on all wheels and an improved hydraulic braking system with two circuits and an electric lining wear indicator. The AAS anti-rollback function, which is part of the ESP, is responsible for a smooth start to uphill movement. If the start is at the bottom of a slope, the system maintains pressure in the brake circuits for 2 seconds. This is enough for the driver to move his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator, but the car does not roll back. The system is activated on a slope of 4% or more; failure occurs when stopping on a flat surface and with the handbrake active.

General description of the Sprinter cargo van

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has a wide range of applications. It can be used both for transporting passengers and for transporting construction materials. The design of the car is very simple and functional. There is a durable monocoque body, the engine is installed in the front of the car, and there is rear-wheel drive.

The cargo van is quite roomy. Its carefully thought-out design greatly facilitates loading, which is also achieved by the presence of a sliding door. There are several modifications of the sprinter, which differ from each other in some parameters. These are the size of the center distance, the parameters and size of the cargo compartment, and others.

HighBeam Assist system

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter features HighBeam Assist. It is very useful for operating a vehicle, as it allows you to switch the high beam when there are oncoming cars on the road. This system operates thanks to the presence of sensors on the windshield.

When the driving speed exceeds 40 km/h, the high beam automatically switches to low beam. But when the oncoming car is not detected by the sensor, the previous operating mode is resumed.

The high beams turn on again and all this happens automatically.

Operating rules for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

The car will serve for a long time and will not fail at the most inopportune moment if you strictly follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the replacement of consumables:

• every 15 thousand km it is necessary to change the brake fluid and oil;
• Once every 2 years it is necessary to clean or replace the air filter, check the wear of the brake pads;
• every 60 thousand km they check the condition of the driveshaft, fuel filter, clutch, change the oil in the automatic transmission.

Ease of operation and maintenance

The components and components of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 311 can last for a long time. On average, wear becomes noticeable after a mileage of 400-500 thousand km. The main problems in operation occur due to non-compliance with service intervals. The turbine must be checked after 1-1.2 million km. You also need to control the quality of the fuel, because... a poor composition can lead to clogging and failure of the fuel system.

Drive system and vehicle suspension

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drive system

Many Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models are equipped with six-cylinder diesel drives, where the cylinder camber angle is 72°. Such engines hold at least 3 liters of fuel, which allows them to achieve a power of 190 hp. With. and torque 440 Nm.

Some all-wheel drive variations of Mercedes-Benz have gasoline engines. The most powerful of them is a six-cylinder with 258 hp. With. All of these car engines are equipped with a five- or seven-speed manual or automatic transmission.

With careful use and constant maintenance, Sprinter engines can travel at least 500 thousand km without major repairs. But turbine oil and fuel need to be changed much more often - every 120 thousand km. To reduce wear on the turbo engine, it is recommended to let the engine idle for 1–2 minutes and then turn it off.

What's the price?

Depending on the modification, the availability of additional options and equipment, the cost of the model is determined. Standard assembly costs about 1.66 million rubles. when installing a van-type superstructure, and 1.67 million rubles. – minibus.

When buying a used car, it is worth remembering that the technical condition of cargo versions will be better than passenger ones. This is due to the fact that the latter type of car is often used in urban transportation (minibus taxis), therefore, the wear of the brake system and other units and components will be much higher. When buying a used car, you need to pay attention to the condition of all systems and mechanisms, as well as corrosion.

The price of a Mercedes Benz Sprinter 311 produced in 14/15 is 1.3-1.7 million rubles, in 08/09 – 700-850 thousand rubles.

The generation of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter T1N, which received the addition of the name Classic, has been closely familiar to me for almost ten years. Working in the Minsk bus fleet, I refused to move from drivers to mechanics of a convoy of “large” buses, but agreed to this position in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter convoy, sincerely believing that cars with a three-pointed star do not break down. Being responsible for the timely delivery of these cars to the line, I only strengthened my opinion - Mercedes is very difficult to break. However, if you managed to do this, blame yourself, because Sprinter practically does not forgive “workarounds”.

I would like to note that in the fleet warehouses one could find any spare part for MAZ and Ikarus buses, but every little thing for the “German” was distributed to a specific vehicle long before its arrival. Nevertheless, even in such conditions, the Sprinter turned out to be a great guy, and most of the cars are still on the line regularly...

Technical data

Generations of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Classic
Mercedes Benz Sprinter Classic 311 CDI is a light-duty truck that is used in commercial transportation. The high popularity of the car is due to the constant improvement of performance parameters and appearance. In Europe, the car is in less demand and is considered obsolete. At the same time, Russian consumers value it for its optimal price-quality ratio.

The main advantages of the Mercedes Sprinter 311 include reliability, high build quality, installation of durable systems and mechanisms, ease of maintenance work and the ability to install a variety of add-ons.

Not a designer for a long time

Ten years ago, the “German” Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was exactly like this: modern, reliable and durable. And if “modernity” at this stage can hardly be attributed to the advantages of the machine, then the other two points have not lost their relevance. What about the “Russian”?

At the time of the launch of production and the first acquaintance with the copies assembled in Nizhny Novgorod, the biggest complaint was about the build quality. The doors on the cars did not close, the gears did not engage, plugs fell out, etc. There were a lot of such defects, and each car had this set individually. Even the geometric dimensions varied from body to body. BUT…

Second generation - First pancake

Another version of this engine for the Sprinter produces up to 109 horsepower at 208 Nm, accelerating the car to 141 km h, while it has more economical consumption. It is clear that the ergonomics designed many years ago do not correspond to modern realities, but I personally cannot say that everything is a failure; indeed, all that was missing was an additional 12-volt outlet, and I easily came to terms with everything else, especially since that more modern analogues are also full of problems in terms of placing the same bottles or thermos.
