Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor – 6511530028 | Mercedes Sprinter Engine Air Charge Temp Sensor

SKU: 6511530028 - qty 1

Improve your Mercedes Sprinter’s engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control with this Intake Air Temperature Sensor – part #6511530028. Also known as an Air Charge Temperature Sensor, this part measures the temperature of the air entering the engine and provides that data to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this information to adjust fuel delivery, ignition timing, and boost management, especially during cold starts or rapidly changing load conditions. A faulty intake air temp sensor can cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, hard starts, and engine hesitation — replacing it restores accurate intake air readings and helps maintain optimal engine operation. 

✔ OEM-Equivalent Sensor

• Designed to match Mercedes-Benz part 6511530028 / 651-153-00-28 for correct fitment and performance on Sprinter engines. 

• Monitors intake air temperature inside the intake manifold to support the ECU’s airflow and fuel calculations. 

✔ Critical for Engine Efficiency

• Helps the engine control system optimize air-fuel ratio and ignition timing, improving performance and emissions. 

• Especially useful during cold starts and variable weather conditions where air density changes. 

✔ Reliable & Durable Construction

• Built to withstand the heat and vibration associated with diesel engine operation. 

• Easy to install and integrates with factory wiring and mounting locations.

📌 Pro Tip: Always clear your vehicle’s ECU codes after replacing engine sensors so the system can recalibrate with the new sensor data.
