On a 2003-2006 Sprinter the fuel filter is located on the driver side of the engine block. About half way up and down, and front to back.
You are do for an oil change and fuel filter replacement.
The fuel filter is on the top of the engine, below the aircleaner, and upper engine cover.
It is on top of the center of the engine, you will have to remove the air filter box to access it.
It is on the driver side of the engine. It is the metal can with the hoses hooked to it.
Driver side of the engine, down by the motor mount.
The engine will starve for fuel and may not run at all.
The 2003 Sprinter has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine. While changing the filter you have airlocked the fuel system. The way I restart them is to apply suction to the return hose on the filter(look for arrows) and pull on it until you get fuel. Had this problem on 2002 sprinter, the problem was the sensor on the bottom of the filter not connected properly
It is on top of the engine. You have to remove the air filter assembly and the cover between the heads.
Driver side of the block, about middle up and down, and front to back.
On the diesel it is on the top center of the engine, under the air cleaner and engine cover.
