BlueTec Sprinter Turbo Seal Ring – OE Air Intake Elring Seal

SKU: 0179970445ELR - qty 1

Ensure your BlueTec Sprinter’s turbo and air-intake system remain sealed and functioning with this high-quality 0179970445 ELR seal ring — a small but essential part that plays a big role in performance and reliability:

• OEM-spec air intake / turbo-inlet seal: 0179970445 is the original equipment seal ring used to connect the intake duct to the turbocharger (compressor side), sealing the turbo-inlet and preventing air leaks. 

• Prevents boost or intake leaks: A good seal ensures that all compressed air from the turbocharger is directed properly into the intake system — avoiding loss of boost pressure, reduced performance, or turbo inefficiency. 

• Direct fit for many Sprinter 3.0 L / OM642 diesel models (2007–2010 era associated with this part number): Commonly used on Sprinter vans with 3.0 L OM642 engines in certain years — often necessary when replacing intake hoses, ducting, or turbo components. 

• Essential whenever turbo/air-intake components are serviced or replaced: Any work on turbo inlet, intake duct, or intercooler piping — or signs of leaks — warrants replacing the seal ring to ensure proper sealing.

• Helps maintain engine efficiency and reliability: By guaranteeing a tight seal, this part contributes to proper air intake pressure, consistent turbo performance, efficient combustion, and avoids problems related to air leaks (poor power, rough idle, turbo lag).

Fitment note: Because part 0179970445 corresponds to specific Sprinter model years and configurations (mostly early-generation 3.0 L OM642 turbo Sprinters), we recommend verifying your van’s VIN, engine type, and turbo/air-intake setup before purchasing.

Ideal For: Owners doing maintenance, turbo/air intake repairs, or replacements on 3.0 L (or compatible) Sprinter diesel vans — especially helpful when reinstalling or replacing intake ducts, hoses, or turbo components.
