Engine Type:
Likely to be a Mercedes-Benz OM647 diesel engine (common for this generation Sprinter, though manual covers all VA variants)
Engine Displacement:
Typically 2.7L (OM647)
Horsepower Range:
Around 154 hp (for OM647)
Torque Range:
Around 243 lb-ft (for OM647)
Injection System:
Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI)
Timing Belt:
Covered in detail; crucial maintenance item
Transmission Type:
Likely 5-speed automatic (e.g., NAG1 / 722.6)
Optional Transmission:
Manual transmission options might exist depending on specific configurations, but automatic is more common.
Transmission Coverage:
In-car servicing, removal, and installation procedures
Vehicle Class:
Full-size Van (Commercial and Passenger variants)
Curb Weight:
Varies significantly by configuration, typically ranging from 4,500 to 5,500 lbs

Ranges from 6,800 lbs to 9,000 lbs (or higher for heavier duty variants)
Crash Test Information:
The manual will contain specific diagnostic and repair procedures for safety systems, though official crash test ratings from NHTSA/IIHS for this specific Dodge-badged model may be limited compared to its Mercedes-Benz counterpart. Focus is on repairability of safety components.
Active Safety:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), Traction Control, potentially ESP (Electronic Stability Program) depending on final configuration.
Passive Safety:
Airbags (driver, passenger, side curtain potentially), Seat belts, Crumple zones.
Infotainment System:
Base audio system with radio, CD player. Manual may cover basic troubleshooting for these components.
Driver Assistance Features:
ABS, Traction Control, potentially Cruise Control. The manual will cover diagnostics for these systems.
Connectivity Features:
Limited by modern standards; primarily focused on vehicle diagnostics via OBD-II port.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000-15,000 miles or annually, but the manual will provide precise factory recommendations.
Timing Belt Replacement Interval:
Diesel engines of this era often use timing chains or maintenance-free timing belts, or if it's a belt, it's typically a very long interval (e.g., 100,000+ miles). The manual specifies this precisely.
Other Intervals:
Includes detailed schedules for fluid changes (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid), filter replacements (air, fuel, oil), and inspection points.
Engine Oil:
Specific viscosity grade (e.g., 0W-40 or 5W-40 synthetic diesel engine oil) and API/ACEA specifications will be detailed.
Coolant:
Type and capacity for the cooling system (likely a specific OAT or HOAT coolant).
Transmission Fluid:
Specific ATF fluid specification (e.g., MB 236.10 or similar for the NAG1) and capacity.
Common Sprinter Issues:
Potential common issues may include fuel injector problems, EGR system faults, turbocharger wear, glow plug issues, and rust on body panels, all of which the manual would assist in diagnosing and repairing.
Dodge Legacy:
Dodge branded Sprinter models were part of a partnership between DaimlerChrysler (at the time) and Mercedes-Benz, leveraging the well-established Sprinter platform for the North American market.
Sprinter Platform:
This 2006 model is part of the first generation Sprinter (T1N platform), which originated from Mercedes-Benz and was sold globally under various brands.
Manufacturing Location:
Primarily manufactured in Germany by Mercedes-Benz.
