Now all you can do is to make selfie when your vehicle is loaded on a car hauler, to be crushed in a matter of few weeks.
I just to buy lot's of spare parts, from my early age , to mopeds, then motorcycles and cars. No more! I was stuck with spare parts and never had chance to use it. And if I was able to sell it, never got what I paid for! I am sorry, I can't help you with your question. Best regards.

As new to this forum I first posted on General discussion with little success Regards with Thanks Malc. Eric Experience Well-known member.
The engine number is your best guide. If the first part of the number is the same you are ok The question as you asked it could mean comparing motors that are up to 10 years different in build date, The mode of failure of these motors is loss of oil pressure leading to crankshaft damage, so if you want to keep this vehicle for ever install a oil pressure monitor point and measure oil pressure at each oil change.
Just read this post of yours Malcolm. Frankly you won't get much info out of the US forum members because this 2 litre 4 banger was never installed in NAS Sprinters. I don't think it was popular in budget Benzes like the either! Wot an 'orrible little snot box was that anyway! Now with the blokes Down Under like Eric it is different , they use them and as he has stated there is quite a few build details and the secret with all Benz engines of course are the three first digits!
That was achieved by throwing away the waste gate style turbo and bunging on an electronically controlled variable vane unit like later derivatives.
The EGR system changed changed a bit too! So an an overview you can get the later unit with lots of modification into the frame but that will mean a new PCM and harness work plus some interface work depending upon your chassis build spec. What a lot of bloody hard work and brain damage quite frankly -not like mixing and matching parts in mid 's with "Mersayalezz Too Farty Dees" so popular with a the Jamaican community in Gloucester where I came from.
I have to comments keeping your van in to eternity might be hard, although the UK Gov has been dodging the issue of light duty diesel engine emission its clear the knifes are out for continued use of stuff like this! Just carry on driving, and save your money for the next latest and greatest, maybe be happy "wiv wot yu got"If you are without significant other get to know a nice shapely Carib lady serving curried goat with a few glasses of white rum--Yeh Maa-an you'l be feeling no pain and not worrying about some van!
She'll take your mind off that! But then I was accused of not being an ordinary white man in my youth! Keep and trucking Malc until the MOT man fails it for rust!

The 2. There's also the option of a bhp bi-fuel engine, powered by compressed natural gas and petrol. All versions come with a six-speed ECO Gear manual gearbox as standard, although Mercedes is one of the few van manufacturers to offer a full automatic. The 7GTronic seven-speed box is available on most versions of the Sprinter, and is the same set-up found in Mercedes cars of the same era, so it's smooth and fast-shifting compared to some van rivals.
Whether you go for the auto or manual box, power is sent to the rear wheels on every Sprinter, while a 4x4 four-wheel-drive system is optional on all but the smallest models. Despite being on sale for more than a decade, the Sprinter still posted strong sales in its final year The new Sprinter arrives in , and promises to add advanced connectivity to the current van's excellent load carrying versatility.
This brings stop-start, which cuts the engine as you select netural when the van is stopped, then restarts it when you depress the clutch, or lift off the brake pedal in automatic models. Also included is a low-energy power-steering pump, plus you get a gearshift indicator in the dash to signal when to change gear to minimise fuel consumption.
Low-rolling-resistance tyres have the same effect, as does the tuned management of the alternator and battery. A big bonus for owners is that the Sprinter is sold through Mercedes truck dealerships. Iveco and selected Renault dealers offer a similar service. The Sprinter is also frequently used by the ambulance service, and is a common choice for camper conversions.
