Mercedes Sprinter Charge Air Pipe – OEM | OM642 3.0L V6 | #6420983007 (2010–2013)

DESCRIPTION:

A cracked or leaking charge air pipe is a direct path to boost pressure loss — and on the OM642, this rigid pipe is a common failure point that's often overlooked in favor of the rubber intercooler hoses. If your Sprinter is losing power, running sluggish, or throwing boost-related fault codes, this pipe should be on your inspection list. This OEM replacement restores a fully sealed charge air circuit and gets your turbo delivering full boost pressure again.

What This Part Does

The charge air pipe carries compressed air from the turbocharger into the charge air circuit, routing it toward the intercooler for cooling before it enters the engine intake. Unlike the flexible rubber hoses elsewhere in the system, this is a rigid pipe — meaning cracks typically develop at connection points or from heat cycling and vibration over time. Even a small crack in this pipe represents a direct boost leak.

When to Replace It

Replace this pipe if you notice a reduction in power or throttle response, audible boost leak sounds under load, soot or oily residue around the pipe's connection points, or visible cracks in the pipe body. It's also a smart inspection item any time intercooler hoses are being replaced.
