FAQs

Does this cap come with the filter element included?

Yes, this VAICO assembly includes the filter element as part of the kit.

Will this fit my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?

This cap is designed for several Sprinter models, but you must verify your specific OE part number (e.g., 6111800010) against the component currently on your vehicle.

What is the recommended torque for this cap?

Always refer to your vehicle service manual for the exact torque specification, as these vary by engine model.

Can I reuse the old O-ring?

No, it is highly recommended to use the new O-ring provided with the kit to ensure a proper seal.

Is this a genuine Mercedes-Benz part?

This is a VAICO branded replacement part designed to meet or exceed OE quality standards for the referenced Mercedes-Benz applications.

Troubleshooting

Oil leaking from the base of the cap

Check that the O-ring is properly seated in the groove and was lubricated with fresh oil before installation.

Cap is difficult to unscrew during next service

Ensure you are using the correct sized filter cap socket and that it was tightened only to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.

Housing appears to be cross-threaded

Immediately stop tightening, back the cap out, and inspect the housing threads for damage; do not force it into place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a secure, leak-proof seal
  • Includes essential filter component
  • Matches or exceeds original equipment quality
  • Fits a wide range of Mercedes-Benz engines

Cons

  • Requires careful matching of OE part numbers
  • Installation requires specialized tools for proper torque
  • Not universal across all Mercedes-Benz engines

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the engine is cool. Clean the mounting area thoroughly to prevent debris from entering the oil system. Apply a light film of clean engine oil to the new O-ring before securing the cap. It is critical to use a proper torque wrench to avoid over-tightening, which can cause the housing to crack. This cap is compatible with OE numbers 6111800010, 6111800110, 6111800210, 611180021090, A6111800010, A6111800110, and A6111800210. Always double-check your vehicle's specific engine code before purchase.
