Mercedes Sprinter DEF Pump – OEM SCR System | BlueTec OM642 3.0L | #0024706894 (2010–2018)
DESCRIPTION:
A failing DEF pump is one of the fastest ways to put a BlueTec Sprinter into limp mode. When the pump can't deliver diesel exhaust fluid to the SCR dosing system at the correct pressure, your van's emissions system throws faults, the warning lights come on, and if left unaddressed, the engine derate begins. This OEM replacement DEF pump restores proper fluid delivery to the SCR system and clears the fault pathway before it becomes a derate situation.
What This Part Does
The DEF pump draws diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue/urea solution) from the DEF tank and delivers it under pressure to the dosing injector nozzle, where it's introduced into the exhaust stream upstream of the SCR catalyst. The SCR system uses this urea spray to convert harmful NOx emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. Without consistent DEF delivery at the correct pressure, the chemical reaction can't occur — triggering fault codes, warning lights, and eventually engine power reduction.
Common Symptoms of a Failing DEF Pump
- DEF system warning light or check engine light
- SCR or emissions system fault codes
- Engine derate or limp mode activation
- DEF level sensor errors despite adequate fluid in the tank
- No DEF delivery to the dosing injector
When to Replace It
Replace when fault codes indicate DEF pump failure or low DEF pressure, when the pump is audibly not priming on startup, or after any DEF system contamination event. Always flush the DEF system and use fresh, quality DEF fluid after pump replacement to prevent premature failure of the new unit.
