FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! please everyone reading this comment remember to replace the O ring that sits on the EGR cooler under the manifold. I did this job with my ol' man and after a long time putting it all back together the engine coolant was pissing out the bottom so we had to start all over again from the beginning 😭😭😭 learn from our mistake and purchase that seal!!!
I think its better to own and maintain 220 cdi 150 ps, very simple , reliable and more economic engine ! V6 is a pain in the ass and big waste of time and money, just some my opinion !
@@joesaric1 ive owned my chrysler 300c v6 CRD for few years now and i still love it. Ive replaced all the common faults including the broken gear shift plastic hook and these bastard seals, i would do it all again to keep it running. The engine has 180k on it and sounds sweet as a nut. I abuse it on race days and have nitrous running through the things a tank
There is a kit out there, can't remember from whom, that has all the seals for everything. I THINK it might be IDparts, but I bought it when I did mine and it was well worth the piece of mind to replace them all...
@@trentcarlson4857 i was extremely disheartened. Was off road for weeks and weeks waiting on a coupler joint for the mani's. I was balling about in a KA... finally got all back together and that happened... square fucking one. Gluing them poxy swirl motor clips back together... nightmare.
if i could add one comment other than nice clear vid , one tip id add is when reinstalling intakes loosely install the bolts into the egr to exhaust flange shown at 2;48 in this video before you tighten down the bolts for the right hand intake manifold to save many stressful attempts to line up the bolt holes after the fact.
Loved your vid, stumbled across this page while researching for the first one I've finished and completed today. Glow 1x glow plug connector broke on me "dammit" . Wish i had seen this earlier :) Never mind. Well done.
Perfect. One thing to add, change your thermostat and any other perishable seals like egr seal at same time. Don't forget the injector seals.... Replace those old copper seals too.
That does not look like a diy project, at least not one I would ever tackle. I think those orange seals are rubber and the purple ones are neoprene. That should be a lifetime fix. That diesel sounds so sweet. I would love to have one again instead of my 01 e320.
Awesome Job, awesome video. Shortly and informative. I dont understand not so much(english) but i think man dont need the language for the work ;) Grettings from germany.
MB f*cked it up big time on this model. The leak does not stop until you replace the gaskets with the upgraded purple viton type. This tells you that MB acknowledges the issue but refuses eat the cost. The purple gaskets themselves are $5 each but the entire gasket kit is $105 retail at MB parts store. The local dealer charges 15-18hrs of labour, $240 per/hr being the current rate. This issue occurred on my 55k miles driven E350 Bluetec, its sad the owners have to pay for it. Otherwise, this is a good car and a good engine. This is an easy but time consuming job, however its doable by a DIY'er.
great video. i had a question for you. i just finished doing this big job. and did all gaskets. i cannot get rid of a p0211 code. i get that code with my autologic scan tool. the code sais it is in relation to injector 1 bank 1 side. or it technically sais injector 11 . i get the following codes as well B3800, U2c18, and c1200. these all seem like error codes. car starts fine. and idles perfect. only time check engine light turns on is when it is actually 1 mile or more on acceleration. then goes into limp mode. i did not have these codes before. but wanted to run this by you. my scanner has no adaptation settings or any type of resets. wires are not broken, i switched out injector also. and also fuel filter. i checked and cleaned the fuel regulator as well.
Hey, I have one question. The EGR pipe that you take out at 2:55, is there a small round gasket where it clamps down onto the y-pipe or was it just a tappered for and clamp? I have an exhaust leak after the repair and this is the only area I’m not 100% sure about. Thanks
I’ve been in the trade 30 years , I’ve got one coming in tomorrow, I originally thought it was rear main then realised it was coming from the “V” I wasn’t aware it was a common problem, I ended up on RUclips to get an idea what’s involved removing the turbo , I thought the issue was the feed/return gasket...... wishful thinking by the looks of it, is it a 2 day job , bearing in mind it’s my first one lol
Does this cause oil in coolant? I have bmw 318d and i have oil in coolant. I think maybe oil cooler gasket or oil filter housing gasket is bad. Thank you 😊
Hi merc man ive changed more than 30 sets of oil cooler seals mainly on w164's. I leave the thermostat housing on taking the long bolt out and leave the swirl pot motor attached to one half of the manifold. Disconnecting at one point towards the turbo, makes it slightly easier. Best time 5.5 hours drive in then road test all parts ready to go including brake cleaning oil down. Some do take longer, bolts on turbo and egr need to be changed other wise they have a greater chance of snapping for the next guy. Like your clip simple piece by piece break up. 😉
Hi buddy Do you normally just replace the seals and reuse the old oil cooler or you install a new cooler every time? Just about to order the parts as I am planning to do this job in the next 2 weeks. Thanks in advance.
Great video! I'm wondering how long does the fix last and have you seen any OM642 leaking again after replacing the seals? I'm viewing an 2012 ML350 this weekend and it has had the same issue and Mercedes fixed it with Mercedes parts in 2018. Mercedes replaced the oil cooler seal (MA642 188 05 80), oil cooler sing (MA642 180 01 65), and bunch of other gaskets. And looks like the Mercedes parts have defects and would not last long, I'm worried that the oil leak will happen again on the car I'm viewing in a few years. Thanks!
Hi @mercman, I believe I have this problem on my E350d. Are you based around South East London? Or do you know any garages that will fix this in the area? How much do you estimate the cost would be ?
Mate I respect your patience but honestly I will never ever buy a new Mercedes only I keep OM606 I gave up with Mercedes new engine faulty technology with all my respect. Thank you so much for your Video Mate u are a legend 🫡 Cheers Matt
Hello great video, I had a question: How did you cleaned the oil off. Ive replaced the oil coolers seals but i haven’t found a solution to clean all that oil out.
Just wow. I wish I could make a RUclips car DIY video half as good as this 🤣. This is by all accounts a pain the backside job to do on these engines - however your instructional video is so good that makes it look doable (if I weren't so lazy these days). Subscribed, great channel - keep it up!
Great video. Thumps up from my side. Thank you for sharing. But please also add important information's for all watchers. 1. be careful at the moment where you are removing the turbo-holder. At time 3:33. There is a hole which goes directly to the motor-center. It is the oil channel of the turbo. If there some dirty stuff falls in, then you are risking a motor damage. Be sensible and clean it carefully immediately. And close with paper towels the hole before you proceed. 2. after you are done, please make an oil change before starting the motor. Water and dirty stuff is mixing through the oil holes under the oil-cooler. I got a lot information's where after this oil-cleaner change the motor got damaged through this dirt-water stuff. If you are done with the change of the oil-cooler and oil+oilfilter, then you should release a plug of motor electric and give some start tries to turn the motor/pump and so on. After several turns, plug the removed cable back. Start the motor and of course delete the occurred error message in obd. These are just my hints for the community in yt ;) Wish to all much success...
fantastic video. I have to change my oil cooler and was wondering if I tackle it myself or fork out thousands for someone else. I was able to follow your steps so I feel a bit more confident about doing it Thanks
Hi MercMan, I thought Mercedes knew about this problem way before 2012 and have had been using the purple seals ever since. Do you think the 2014, w166 series OM642 would have already been modified?
Hi, when you order the seals from mercedes they only supply the purple ones, you cant get the orange ones no more, i have done a 2014 c class W204 OM642 and they had the orange seals, so i think your W166 will have orange too..
As u can see there is tones of work to do. For mechanics, they don't wanna take any risks of a bad cooler and also they need to make money from parts. TBH,I believe the main reason is they don't wanna take risk doing all of these shit again and if it's mechanic's own car they would change the cooler as well. Time is money.
From the video it's not that hard,I'm doing it right now,I know how it feels like. There is also a huge risk to damage other parts. Pretty frustrating.
Thanks for the video, it was very good Question: is there anything someone can do to prevent (or reduce the chance) needing to replace those seals? Perhaps a different oil? I've got a 2007 R class with the OM642 engine. it has 215,000km, it gets an oil change service every 5,000km, using 5w-40. It hasn't had a problem (knock on wood). Thank you :)
Hi Ali, from my knowledge and experience these seals perish due to heat and where they are located, so i don’t think there is anything you can do to prevent it, the new seals however are modified to last much longer so the only cure is to change the seals..
@@mercmantips That's a shame. I've read about a ton of common issues with the OM642, including the oil drip from the turbo inlet, but I've solved that by installing a catch can. Makes me wonder how effective R&D was for this engine 😂. I guess I'll have to keep hoping nothing happens anytime soon. thank you (subbed)
MercMan Tips damn! 😂 i love the w164 shape believe it is half good engine once all small errors fixed? Do you find remapping these much better performance wise? Motorway etc take off
Are you UK based? What is the main cause for them to go in the end i have slight leak now, can it leak around engine sump? Or is it mainly by gearbox as you said?
Hi there where are you located? I have a Chrysler 300c crd 2006 with the V6 Mercedes engine and have the oil leak problem but can’t find anyone to do the job for me, I would like to come and see you about doing the job, regards Ergun
Wow, someone must have been smoking something funny when they designed that engine! I am looking at doing it on my 2012 ML.....Oh boy! MB have quoted me $4500 for the job...assuming no other issues found....Ouch!
Can you please list all the other gaskets that you replaced? One is manifold. What are the other ones? I will be doing this repair next week. Thank you!
Remember to be very clean and before removing the turbo pipe or oil cooler to clean all the sand and debris. If you don’t sand or debris could find its way above the crankshaft bearing and seize the engine.. i have seen it happen when i worked for mercedes a few years ago.
Hi buddy Do you normally just replace the seals and reuse the old oil cooler or you install a new cooler every time? Just about to order the parts as I am planning to do this job in the next 2 weeks. Thanks in advance
Nice Video Mate. Wish I'd seen it before pulling the box and sump and then realising it cam from higher up, had her stripped in 2 hrs thanks to you. Bit longer back together. Thanks for taking the time to make the Vid.
Looking at doing this myself, but not sure about what seals to buy. there are really cheap ones from China, and then there are the genuine Mercedes ones. The look and feel identical, but 1/5 price difference. Should I get OEM or cheapies?
Hello Mercman, I managed to reset the service light of my Daewoo Matiz. However, i have now started to get an unusual noise from the wheel bearing on my second car. What can you advise. It is a Fiat Multipla. Many thanks!
An additional oil separator with crankcase gases must be installed on these motors. The engine will live longer, swirl flaps and particulate filter . На эти моторы надо ставить дополнительно сепаратор картерных газов с возвратом масла. Двигатель дольше проживёт , вихревые заслонки и сажевый фильтр.
Hi do you know of any products or companies that do this modification as a bolt on unit? Are you talking about a oil catch can/ breather type of mod? Thanks for the info too.

Can you share the torque specs for this job? Much appreciated.
I’ve been looking for the same info.
I usually tighten until they strip, then back off a quarter turn.
as a general idea how much do you charge for a change? I have a jeep grand cherokee 3.0 CRD with om642 and I think I have same issue
That's a great video indeed! Do you have the torque specs of all those bolts?
Anyone have them?

Yes there is a gasket on both sides of that pipe
Good afternoon. Is it possible that if these seals malfunction in the heat exchange, oil will appear in the coolant?
How many hours you charge for this ? 15?
How often would the cooler itself fail
A friend of mine replaced the seals and it’s leaking again

Hi phill, its not as bad as it looks, im sure you’ll smash it out in a few hours 👍
Would advice you drain oil and coolant first
Hi mate av seen all ur videos just wondering wheres abt u base in Kent?
U done pretty good jobs on all of ur videos
Hi i am not based in kent
?
Can I ask where u base?
Got few issues with my mercedes
At how many kilometers does this fault usually appear?
How much does this cost to do ????
Doing an 09 ML320 right now - it's much more restricted than this.
@5:33 - throw that in the bin as well.
Did you change both coolant and oil during the job?
He does, he says that in another video due to the cross contamination issue
Does the cooler itself need replacing or just the seals
Does this cause oil in coolant? I have bmw 318d and i have oil in coolant. I think maybe oil cooler gasket or oil filter housing gasket is bad. Thank you 😊
I need this job done on my CLS320. How do I make contact with you to book it in?
Did u Ever find this chaps contact details ? @mercman. Where are you based ? What’s your garage name?
What would you charge to do this on a Jeep Commander 3.0 crd? 🤔

Do you normally just replace the seals and reuse the old oil cooler or you install a new cooler every time? Just about to order the parts as I am planning to do this job in the next 2 weeks. Thanks in advance
Hey MercMan, Did you have to drain the oil and coolant to do this job?
I dont drain the oil, but i drain the coolant or it will make a mess when you start removing the coolant parts
@@mercmantips Hi, please I need your contact details asap, my email is splitspectrums@gmail.com. thanks
Amazing amount of work. How long does the job usually take?
MB bills this as a 12 hour job. Definitely doesn't take 12 hours, but can range widely depending on skill level.
Nice Video Mate. Wish I'd seen it before pulling the box and sump and then realising it cam from higher up, had her stripped in 2 hrs thanks to you. Bit longer back together. Thanks for taking the time to make the Vid.
I need this on mine. What does it cost to do this? Great video and liked the style.

Hell of a job, paid about 300euros to the mech for fixing that

W212 2011 have same problem?
Looking at doing this myself, but not sure about what seals to buy. there are really cheap ones from China, and then there are the genuine Mercedes ones. The look and feel identical, but 1/5 price difference. Should I get OEM or cheapies?
OEM without a doubt you dont want to do this job twice
Great Vid, where are you based, I may have some work for you?
Love the trophy collection of seals :) Where are you based mate ?
Hi, cool video. How much to do this job on a 2008 GL320cdi? Where in London are you and what's your contact number?
Did you ever find this chap?
Hello Mercman, I managed to reset the service light of my Daewoo Matiz. However, i have now started to get an unusual noise from the wheel bearing on my second car. What can you advise. It is a Fiat Multipla. Many thanks!
I suggest you buy a Merc!
Hi. Great video. I have this issue on my merc c350. Can I bring it to you? What are your contact details or where is your garage? Thank you
Did you ever find this chaps contact details?
An additional oil separator with crankcase gases must be installed on these motors.
The engine will live longer, swirl flaps and particulate filter .
На эти моторы надо ставить дополнительно сепаратор картерных газов с возвратом масла.
Двигатель дольше проживёт , вихревые заслонки и сажевый фильтр.
Hi do you know of any products or companies that do this modification as a bolt on unit? Are you talking about a oil catch can/ breather type of mod? Thanks for the info too.
Nice one mate where are you based, can I ring you to do mine as well?
Do the intake valves need to be cleaned periodically? Thanks
How much you charge for a service like this please thanks
