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...

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. 😉

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...

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!

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.

Did you know that the core problem is that the orange silicone rubber gaskets are incompatible with the diesel oil? I first noticed this when replacing the turbo inlet seal after only a year and I could rip it with my fingers. Mercedes replaced it twice at 100 000 and 200 000 km. I also had oils leaks on the vacuum pump that has the same rubber gaskets

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..

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.
