You're right and I apologize for confusing you (never post when in a hurry or not thinking straight). The Sprinter and the Crafter have a different engines. Here is more: Volkswagen Crafter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However the engine in the Crafter is a common rail engine (in the T5 it was always PD until now) and it was in the time when I was buying my T5, also the diagnostic socket in the Crafter is different to the current range of the VW's and that's what confused me. I've never worked on the Crafter van but I have 3 customers with the Sprinters of different age now and the engine is MB in them, that's for sure.
