The Mercedes-Sprinter car, tuned in various directions, has been in demand among carriers and entrepreneurs for many years. The machine has a high loading volume, the reliability of all major components and an excellent level of comfort. The vehicle is manufactured in several modifications (with a passenger, cargo and cargo-passenger body). Consider the features of the modernization of this car.

Exterior improvements

In terms of external tuning of the Mercedes-Sprinter, users most often resort to the following alterations:

• Carry out pasting of glasses with a tinting film. The cost of the procedure, depending on the type of car body and the manufacturer of the film material, will be from 4 to 12 thousand rubles. The most famous speci alty film brands are LLumar and SunTek.
• Installation of protective mudguards, which are not supplied as standard.
• Installation of other disks and other rubber. This will not only improve the exterior, but also improve vehicle handling.
• Replacement of standard light elements with original headlights. For the procedure, you need in the engine compartmentparts through the mudguard of the headlight unit, remove the standard lamp, instead of which install a new halogen element.

Interior refurbishment

Internal tuning "Mercedes-Sprinter" includes a number of manipulations, namely:

• Installation of additional lighting in the upper and lower parts of the cabin. You will need to buy about 10 meters of LED strip, which is placed under the skin with power supply to the on-board network. The choice of the manufacturer of lighting elements does not play a special role. Depending on the connected scheme, the lighting will be activated autonomously or when the car ignition is turned on.
• Installation of modern video and audio equipment. Since some modifications of the car are used to transport passengers, it is appropriate to equip the cabin with additional media systems. A TV or player can be mounted on the shelves of the cabin with power from the on-board circuit using a 12/220 volt converter. This improvement is quite possible to make yourself.

What else is being changed in the interior?

From the factory, the car is equipped with several speakers, the sound quality of which leaves much to be desired. Tuning a Mercedes-Sprinter car can be continued by installing additional audio elements. Two pairs of modern speakers will significantly improve the sound quality coming from the media system. The elements are mounted around the entire perimeter, the wiring is hidden under the skin, connected to the head unit.

Another way to improve the interior is to reupholster the seats. As materials, you can use velor, leatherette, genuine leather or fabric covers. Cargo variations are equipped with hooks, fastening straps and loops that allow you to securely fix various loads.

"Mercedes-Sprinter": tuning the power unit

The engine, as a rule, is made more powerful by refining the standard unit or replacing it with a new analogue. In particular, they replace factory valves, lighten engine elements to level losses, install new connecting rods and pistons. In addition, the improvement of the exhaust assembly and the installation of low-resistance air filters are practiced.

The suspension assembly is most often modified in terms of replacing the stabilizing transverse device, levers, as well as installing stiffer springs and struts. To improve the response of the car, instead of standard brake pads, high-temperature variations with an increased coefficient of friction are installed.

"Mercedes Sprinter": chip tuning

Before flashing the ECU, it is necessary to read all possible errors, download a new program, disable the control of the particulate filter element along with EGR. After flashing the computer, the particulate filter is removed.

As a result of the Mercedes-Sprinter-Classic chip-tuning, pick-up at medium and low speeds is increased, the moment of dynamics is evened out at all rotational stages. This reduces fuel consumption by approx.per liter in quiet driving mode, increases power and torque by up to about 20 percent.

Benefits received:

• Increasing power, making driving easier.
• Reduce fuel consumption.
• Economic benefit. It is twice cheaper to carry out such a manipulation than to select a new economical particulate filter.
• The tuning of the Mercedes-Sprinter made it possible to eliminate errors and emergency modes associated with the same filter element.
• Optimized the operation of the power unit at idle.

Other improvements

Improvement of the car in question involves the implementation of certain processes aimed at changing the technical parameters, increasing comfort and giving originality to the exterior design. In addition to these operations, which improve the dynamics and other characteristics of the car, the owners carry out the following manipulations:

• Mercedes Sprinter bumper tuning by installing original styling elements.
• Performing body kit and airbrushing.
• Replacing the steering wheel and seats.
• Supplementing the vehicle with electronic components.

Improving cars, even with the most thoughtful design, allows you to further increase the parameters of the car. This is due to the emergence of various technical innovations that improve the car technically, externally and internally.
