oil pump solenoid valve failure

[@kevhauser]

Nothing is easy about being a skilled mechanic. This is a great example. Same frustration when an important circuit fries. wipes out a lot.

[@steveguest8028]

That is 100% correct, the job is very difficult now due to the complexity of modern vehicles, people think you just plug it into a machine and it tells you what is wrong but its far far from that

Unplugged mine yesterday on my w212 E63 AMG, runs so much smoother and responsive and no engine dash lights on, the eco drive system is still working perfectly, thanks guys and tasos great job brother

[@MrRyman222]

@@ralph02136 to be honest it’s not a higher pressure, it’s more like a regular pressure but with the solenoid it’s cutting off pressure even more causing a lower lubrication thus causing metal components scoring damage, my car running 6 months now beautifully since disconnected and it’s my daily driver, love it more now 🥰

Unplugged mine, M157. Actually, my pigtail connector came completely out due to breakage inside (cheap plastic). Made a plug for the hole in the timing cover… engine seems happy.

[@TStyles-s7k]

I actually about an hour ago went to unplug mine and it ALSO broke. I’m unsure if I’ll be able to just leave it broken (the plug is stuck connected but the plastic sensor part is hanging out. The hole in the timing cover just has the two metal sensor prongs hanging out. Does this leave a risk of leaking oil out of is it ok to leave it as is ? Can you please tell me what you did to plug the hole ? Thank you

[@BatErdene1221]

im confused shouldnt solenoid valves be closed to achieve full normal oil pressure? open = less pressure closed = high normal pressure?

[@Q50S_magic]

this parts have only 2 situations? fully open and fully closed?? thanks

[@kevin9c1]

Can't you unplug a working one and prevent this issue from ever occuring? If so does it set a CEL?

[@kevin9c1]

I know the answer. I made a very popular thread at MB World in the W212 AMG section. Unplugging is successful.

From what car is this I need to know

[@tigerali7]

2017 Mercedes’ E 300 code P06DA00 (The actuation of the valve of the oil pump in the combustion engine has an electrical fault or open Circuit). Someone told me it’s oil pump solenoid need to be replaced, the question can I do it from the bottom or I have to remove the motor and flip it in order to replace it, can you please guys help!!!

[@6172crew1]

I have a X166 with the 3.0T with the P06DA00 open circuit code. I guess it's time to replace that bad boy. I have ignored it for the last month but now I am worried. Thanks, Tasos.

Which engine ? we all need to install oil presure gauge .How many hours to get to oil pump?

[@boyb72]

So i unplugged mine from my 2013 ML63 and dont seem to see any difference. So lets say mine was in a stuck open position even before i unplugged it so that wouldnt make a difference if i unplugged or not, correct? So by unplugging will make the solenoid open position? Is that the purpose for this?

[@AlexHernandez-xh8ei]

By unplugging the solenoid it stays in open position at all times allowing maximum oil pressure. In some rare cases they can stay closed like the one in the video. If the car is tuned and modified with the solenoid stuck in closed position, damage will occur

[@Alberto.en.Tenerife]

Hows does this influence engine properly work?

[@austingtir]

See in the last couple of months people on mbworld forums have figured out if you remove the plug for these solenoids thats next to the crank pulley you disable these stupid solenoids altogether and get 100% oil flow from the moment you start the car up. Many obvious benefits to this. May even help prevent some bore scoring issues if its not the injectors or bent rods..... The only downside is miniscule extra fuel use and im yet to see if anyone confirm if it stops eco light or eco system working properly as I only just did this to my s550 havent driven it enough to see. Even MB own literature says its a "nonessential system".

[@nemodemo420]

Extra fuel consumption is not the only downside. In colder climates fuel pumps can go bad prematurely without solenoids due to cold starts. This may total the engine. I own a car with M278 and don't want to risk it by applying an "easy" fix. Also you will need to change the oil in less than 5k miles without solenoid there.

[@zlgreene]

Hey Tasos - this video kinda scared me. I have a 2013 p31 c63 w/ 100,000 miles. Are these solenoids worth pulling to inspect for proper operation? Any signs to watch for that these might be going bad? Thank you!

[@TasosMoschatos]

Don't worry, it's from sls. C63 doesn't have variable oil pump/oil on demand

[@goldar4846]

Tasos is the procedure for flushing a 722.6 the same as the 722.9 vid you posted?

[@johnantonopoulous6381]

Are you having issues or just changing the fluid. If your just changing the fluid see if you have a tourque converter drain bolt. And check if you have any leaking at the electronic plug before starting. They trend to fail and fluid will go up the wire harness and destroy the tcu. Drain the tourque converter if you have it drop the pan replace the filter. Put everything back together and fill through the dipstick. You will need to measure the pan temp with an infared thermometer or read the temp off off of a scanner to tell you when to check the fluid level. It requires a special 722.6 dipstick.

[@simontist]

Another sacrifice to fuel efficiency.

[@BmwpetroldoorshoppingcarNordsc]

So what is the point of running lower oil pressure in the first place? why not run higher all the time?

[@BmwpetroldoorshoppingcarNordsc]

Ahh ok!

[@steveguest8028]

It is to reduce the load on the oil pump at lower engine speeds(when higher oil pressure isnt needed)this in turn reduces emissions
