Sprinter

I've been an MB Diesel fan for a long time- and decided to buy a new 2007 Sprinter wagon. Despite the "Dodgy" logos, it's a wonderful truck, all MB all the way, right down to the WDB serial number!

My question relates to running biofuels in the new MB diesels. is there a limitation to the percentage in terms of warranty? How are people doing with running biofuels in their new Mb diesels?

Another question: It's my understanding that the Sprinter can be outfitted with A Comand unit. What experience do people have with this? If I were to look for one, what type should I seek out?

I am pretty sure that MBZ allows for b5. Double check with your dealer, in writing.

I believe B5 is correct as well; it will be listed in the back of your owners manual.

B5 is their limit. 2007 uses the exact same 3.0L V6 as the E/R/ML/GL320 CDI, just detuned for commercial use.
