om642

Went to change my air filters today after 2 years and found them in this state. Am now thinking of changing them every year as my engine so much smoother and quieter now (changed oil,fuel filter & oil filters too). Anyone have any disadvantages of doing this every year. Now need a Star to...

Hi guys. Firstly, as I am new here I would like to say hello. It appears my fully serviced e320 is having a very weird issue I've never seen before. It's sounds like it's got an issue with the fuel / oil pump or injector - I've also been told that it could be a tappet. No idea, 97k FSH no...

Hi All, Looking for some advice as I just don't know what to do :o The OM642 engine in our Viano started making a rumble (bit like the under was scrapping on the road) and also a high pitch sequel. I pulled over and checked the front belt thinking it was a pulley, water pump etc but all...

Wife called me yesterday with kids in the car, no power steering and a smell of burnt rubber. Oh good. Recovered the car home, had a look and there is bits of belt everywhere. I've got it all out. The top idler pulley has been completely lunched, all torn up. Part #9 on this diagram...

Morning all, ive read lots about this engine and the common faults and the power loss threads. I have this engine in a 2006 CLS cdi, it has regular oil changes and has ran really well in general. It has gone into limp mode several times and has now had the following done: DPF removed and...

I know all engines are different but whats the feeling on average oil consumption on these units? All opinion/comment welcome.

I got engine overhauled at 138K due to water problem and now got oil and filter change at 141K. After the oil change, there is a tapping sound that you can hear near driver side wheel and under the hood, it is coming from somewhere engine top. I don't think it was there after the overhaul...

Hi I am getting vibration in my e280cdi when I start it in the morning, however once it warms up its fine. And it's more noticeable in D I have had big mounts changed and transmission mount done.

Hi guys so I had my e class remapped in October and im really happy with the way it shifts, however I'm really tempted to have the map removed and buy the d5 brabus tuning box which probably provides the same output as my remap, the only reason I'm contemplating in doing this is only due to the...

Hi I have just joined the club However I have been using it for a couple of years. I have a Mercedes e class w211 chassis with the om642 engine My engine mounts are worn out so I have purchased some new ones . I was wondering is it a job I can do at home

Update on my intermittent kangarooing/jerking: : Well Mercedes said i could not get the actuator on its own so needed to buy a whole turbo for £1500. Went to my indie who said he knew a place who could recondition it for £350+VAT. I was not convinced coz after some research I found out how to...

Hi Guys I have a stuttering OM642 under load, fault code (P2510-001, Y77/1 turbo actuator positioner signal fault) is pointing to the actuator failing on the turbo. My question is, can you purchase/replace the actuators or are we looking at a new turbo? If anyone has been down this route...

Hi All, I'm looking for map files for the OM642 Viano 204BHP to do DPF and EGR delete along with performance increases. I'd be more than happy to pay a reputable person to modify my file send it back. Can anyone suggest any well known tuners that might be able help? Thanks, Rob

Hello i have one problem with my mercedes. When the car is left to idle for 10-15 mins it starts to emit large amounts of white/blue smoke, this clears once the car has been driven for a while."

Hello, I have a 2005 w211 estate with 130K miles. I've been experiencing a whole rage of problems which, I believe, are related to the turbo and inlet shutoff motor. Apart from this the car runs well and I really want to resolve the whole problem rather than part of it. Here are the main...

Hi all Under the car now and I can find only one O2 sensor on the car, is this correct? I found the downstream one at the bottom of the CAT, upstream ones can't feel or see any. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Sent from my iPad using MBClub UK

Looking for some advice, want to tow a single axle caravan so I've ordered a dedicated wiring kit for the electrics, towbar I'll order tomorrow, but reading the fitting instructions just a moment ago it reports a fan upgrade is necessary to replace the existing 400w radiator fan with a 600w...

Got 100 yds from home last night and the engine management light came on plus loss of power. Pulled over, stopped, removed key, restarted ... no difference. This morning no engine light but still the loss of power ... very slow acceleration. Seems to drive better if you shift the gears manually...

Evening! Having tackled the replacement of my W211 front bottom ball joints with Eurocarparts Lemforder replacements at 90,000 miles last night, I'm wanting to have a go at other serviceable items with this level of miles such as the poly v belt, but detail of replacing this seems thin on the...
