How the Mercedes OM606 Engine was Born

[@JohnJohnson-fy6dt]

All hail the om606

[@lifeonadime4703]

My buddy scored a 98 om606 from our local you pull it. I can't believe he found it as we got them in 98 only here in the states. It's going in a bagged and bodied Tahoe 🤘edit: I think we had them in 9) too but idr. Anyway im talking turbo, not the na version

European diesel cars used DPFs and DEF years before they are mandated in medium duty trucks.

[@alexstromberg7696]

DEF isnt standard on diesel cars even now. Only work type cars

@@alexstromberg7696 Because it's a 2015 my 2015 transit doesn't either. However my 2022 caddy, 2021 crafter, 2019 transit, 2022 transit, 2022 iveco daily, 2021 iveco daily all do have DEF, because its required by law on all new diesels.

@@PiOfficial you said it like MY1996 had DEF

Isnt the OM617 more reliable and legendary though

[@carft1234]

It's more reliable yes but when it comes to modding the om606 is loght years ahead

[@maximumoverdrive2219]

@@carft1234 hrm good to know i have a 1980 300sd w116 with the OM617

[@Turbo.Teutonic]

Lmfao no

[@AshGTE]

Erm, nope. It's a nice reliable diesel engine but a total slug compared to the OM60x models. The OM64x models are common rail versions and also very good

[@stoneylonesome4062]

Yes, the OM617 is much tougher, due to having a cast iron head. Generally speaking, aluminium isn’t the best material for a Diesel engine head, unless it’s extremely well-made and well-designed, and even then it kind of had its own negative impact on the legacy of the OM603 & OM606 engines. In the naturally aspirated versions, they were fine, but, ultimately the greatest flaw with the OM606, is the aluminium head. Here in Albania, they’re loved very well, but they’re not known to be quite as reliable long term, as the OM617, when it comes to forced induction.

Who want to tune their om605/606,write to pm) Remapping, turbokits 250-550hp etc!)

[@Styrbord]

The 606 and 603 is almost the same

[@mytmousemalibu]

603 is 12 valve and 606 is 24v, otherwise pretty similar.

[@DexMaster881]

OM606 and OM 603 are the same engine differing in Number of valves. Thats it. Don't invent info. in Every day use 606 isn't even better than 603. The power isn't usable, and the Low down Torque of the 2 valve is much nicer.

Om.606.dizel.

[@benjamindale3895]

can you nor

[@Teckenrode-1960]

The 606 is just an electronic 603. Shit, most high hp 606 builds have a 603 pump. Quit dancing. Ur not good at it.

[@Teckenrode-1960]

Id have to go with the 603 just for the fact that its an apocalypse engine. The 606 just isnt. A emp and the 606 is dead weight.

[@mytmousemalibu]

A 606 is not just an electronic 603. Its architecture is similar but its 12v VS. 24v You cannot get anywhere near the amount of power out of the original electromechanical pump which is why everyone uses a modded M-pump off a 603. A 606 isn't any less reliable than a 603 with the same Bosch M pump. Its probably more reliable since older 603's had bad head castings that cracked andvthe new 3.5L 603's are called rod benders for a reason. The 606 had none of those issues.
