Mercedes Sprinter Flatout

[andreisovre21]

my father shift the speed into 5th gear on 120 km/h with 311cdi

the top speed with his car was 170 km/h or more, when the care was new :D

[aidanlb]

the old sprinter is terrible i had one and especially if u have a automatic one now i have a new volkswagen crafter manual panel van and its the Long high top its brilliant compared to that hudgy, the crafter is fast but very slow taking off

@aidanlb

That depends on witch model you have. I have a 95' 312, and those have the best and strongest engines from all old models. The engine had a broken head gasket once, but that's a common problem for these engines, because the original gaskets have a weak point. this week i'm going to change the original clutch, because it's done, but that's normal after 15 years, and pulling heavy trailers.

@aidanlb

Further i had only minor things like a broken speedometer, a radiator,

2 balljoints from the front suspension arms, and the electric fan motor from

the interior heater, and a set of new glow plugs. All together it's almost nothing

in 15 years, so for me only Mercedes.

@aidanlb

I never had such a good and reliable vehicle as this sprinter, and i wouldn't

even think about to change it for a model from 2000 until 2006, because they have smaller engines, and i believe that bigger engines last longer than smaller engines, because those smaller engines have to work harder, so they wear out faster than bigger engines.

[aidanlb]

@3DPeter Fair enough m8 I Just didnt like the Automatic one I suppose I was being a bit biased towards the manual version of the sprinter but the automatics are absalute pish! I'm driving a transit right now and its brilliant looks fantastic compared to the sprinter and the crafter but I must say the best van I have had is definetley the Mercedes Sprinter but it was a 57 plate , brilliant van was perfect.

[3DPeter]

@aidanlb

I never owned a automatic one, but i did read alot about them, and indeed they are nothing but trouble, so i can understand why you hate them.

Now i like the looks from the new sprinter more than the vw version and the transit, but that's a matter of personal taste ofcourse. Anyway, good luck with your

transit.

[Isuzulu]

its not in mph, its in kph

[KARAFAS1982]

your tco needs syncronisation

[stewartx5]

Greetings everyone. What are the fastest and second fastest Sprinters on the market right now? I'm looking to buy, but am confused by all the engine and drivetrain options. Give me a couple of choices to focus on.

[djoleasterix]

this is not flatout, it could do it better, my sprinter 313cdi was goint 160kmh.

[nistorii]

great cars :X i have 211 CDI ... fly... ;)

[yussi86]

you cant drive it

you sould blow the engine to fly

[nachtegael9]

that one is limited for sure !

[volvobobben]

danish sprinter ambulances are limited to 170 kmt.

[hrngman]

Driving a 316CDI, (Dodge 2500) limited to 80MPH.. I'm not sure if Daimler-Chrysler is limiting the American versions, or if our Company is doing it. Either way I get to 80mph really fast!! Rock solid too!!!

[dlc06tucson]

I drive a 2006 sprinter at work and it's a little odd that it seems to accelerate faster at 3/4 throttle than wide open.

[Drone696]

Im from Denmark, our limits on highways are 120-130.. But as I recall, there actually were'nt no more revs in highest gear, at 165 Km/h... I did'nt even have to floor it to go that fast when empty.. Amazing handling on the German autoBahn

[Drone696]

They're limited are'nt they..? Was driving an 316 CDI a few years ago, job related.. It seemed to be limited to around 150-160 Km/h.. But it got there pretty quick

[guitigefilmpjes]

I think it depends on local laws, how fast it can go. This one was first limited at 90km/h, and now it can go around 130km/h.

[polarpol]

@guitigefilmpjes what did u do to make it go faster?i've got 2005 sprinter 2.7 l. limited at 80 mph.thanks for reply:)

[osiz1]

@Drone696 engine revs are timited, atleast to mine, an it does 150 km/h easy on ful cargo load ~1.25 tons

[ermestosobalatronca]

@Drone696 I dont know about the 316 cdi but 313, 311 and 413 cdi are limited to 4100 revs, which gives you about 155 km/h in fifth gear.

[scottponheta06]

sprinters are rapid vans

i got mine at 165 on rainy day and 3 quarters loaded

[gti16vg60]

no problem 160KM/h @ 314 2.3 E with full load. (PL)

[3DPeter]

yo sprinter 416cdi, were the video to proof that?

Because that would mean that you have the fastest sprinter in the world, witch i don't believe before

i see a video.

Same thing for jamiehn123.

[sprinter416cdi]

yo i got a 416 cdi, i got it derestricted and put turbo on it and now it touches 140mph for joke

[aaaaaaaa998]

A 416cdi already has a turbo though!?

[lfsracer79]

Wow, you can't even get a speeding ticket with that one :-)

[jamiehn123]

the sprinter is a fast van! i work for a courier firm which used to have a whole fleet of sprinters,, now its ford transits, but our sprinters did 135mph, they were the LWB version too, but the new Sprinters are better and faster now they have 6 gears!!!

[thisoldtruck2]

135 mph, what are you smokin. come on keep it real

[jamiehn123]

sorry, forgot to mention, it was the 3L V6 diesel!

[LSBonnPower]

its kmh not mph

[emzisa]

km/h

[basje91]

my sprinter can reach 170 km/h without wind. This sprinter is very slowly -_-

[duckjock]

I don't feel so bad then, because my smart fortwo cdi (uses much of the same technology that was included in the sprinter) tops out at about 130 km/h, too. :) 40 hp of Diesely goodness!

[Mieciuh]

Yes, 130km/h but it is Spriner 616 and weight 6ton! No 2,8T like f.e. 216 which can go very,very faster

[codrva]

supposedly, the fastest sprinter is 96MPH, so 130 kmh would probably be correct

[guignol000]

we do 140km/h with the old one from mercedes the new dodge one are bloked at 130... indeed

[yledoos]

its probably 130 mp/h, c'mon a mercedes, and 130 kmh?

my granny runs faster

[thechochon]

130 km/h? muhahaha my boxer1.9d that is the slower van ever goes 130 already!

[XxRidinDirty88xX]
