Mercedes Sprinter Intake Throttle Body – Vitesco | VS30 2.0L OM654 Diesel | #6540900070 (2022–2025)

A failed or carbon-fouled throttle body on a VS30 Sprinter will disrupt airflow into the intake manifold, triggering rough idle, poor throttle response, and fault codes that put the van into limp mode — exactly what you don't need in a commercial vehicle on a schedule. This is the Genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM intake throttle body for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 diesel engine, a direct plug-and-play replacement that restores precise electronic airflow control and proper engine operation.

What This Part Does

The intake throttle body sits between the intake tract and the intake manifold and controls the volume of air entering the engine. On the OM654, it operates electronically — receiving signals from the ECU to modulate airflow based on throttle demand, idle control strategy, and emissions management. It also plays a role in intake shutdown during engine-off events to prevent diesel run-on. When the throttle body's actuator fails, its bore gets coated with carbon deposits that restrict movement, or its position sensor drifts out of calibration, the ECU loses precise control over air metering — leading to rough idle, sluggish response, and active fault codes.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Throttle Body

• Rough or unstable idle, surging, or stalling at low throttle
• Sluggish or unresponsive throttle, particularly from a stop
• Engine entering limp mode or reduced power warning
• Check engine light with fault codes related to throttle position or intake air control
• Poor fuel economy or black smoke from the exhaust under load

When to Replace

Replace when the throttle body is confirmed faulty by scan tool, when the actuator fails to move freely, or when fault codes related to the throttle body return after clearing. Also replace when carbon buildup is severe enough that cleaning has not resolved idle or response issues.

VS30 OM654 Specific — VIN Verification Required

This throttle body is for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 diesel engine only. It is not compatible with VS30 models equipped with the 3.0L OM642 or NCV3 Sprinters equipped with the 2.1L OM651. Always verify your engine code and VIN before ordering.
