Mercedes-Benz 902.6 – first-generation Sprinter panel van with common-rail CDI technology: 208CDI to 216CDI, four- and five-cylinder engines from 2,148 to 2,685 cc, 2,800 to 2,950 kg gross weight
The W902 chassis code denotes the closed panel van body of the first Sprinter generation, built from 1995 at the Düsseldorf plant. The model designations 208CDI to 216CDI come from the facelift launched in 2000, when Mercedes-Benz introduced the common-rail CDI diesel engines, replacing the earlier distributor injection pump; the first digit denotes the weight class, the following two the power level.

The register lists 6 versions with four- and five-cylinder engines from 2,148 to 2,685 cc, kerb weights of 1,990 to 2,640 kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,800 to 2,950 kg and a width of 1,930 mm.
The CDI generation marked a technical leap over the previous engines with distributor injection pumps and made the Sprinter a standard vehicle in courier, parcel and trades fleets across Europe; in this class it competed directly with the Ford Transit and the VW LT, and its reliability over many model years shaped the image of the European van in the mid-weight segment.
When buying used, check the condition of the injectors and high-pressure pump on the early CDI engines, rust at the load sill and sliding door rails, clutch condition on high-mileage examples, and the turbocharger's service history, plus the function of the control electronics, which were more failure-prone on the first CDI model years than on later engines; parts are widely available through Mercedes' dense dealer network.
