The OM642 engine is an excellent engine however it does suffers from certain design flaws that can be corrected while we are rebuilding the engine. From Mercedes, the oil cooler seals was previously designed with an inferior rubber material which has poor oil resistance and has since been upgrade to a viton material that has improved resilience to oil.

This engine also has various weak points that can compromise the longevity of the engine, the EGR valve has been known to fail causing excessive soot to reenter the engine this excess soot causes the air intake swirl valves seize up and burn out the swirl control motor.

When your engine is seized and is unable to turn typically the crankshaft has stuck to the front main bearing and depending on how much load was on the engine at the time it seized the bearing backing can spin on the bearing saddle and damage the engine block. When this type of damage occurs the engine block is typically scrap as an align hone cannot be performed on this engine

Oil gelling is very common on this engine as the recommended oil change intervals are excessively long in our opinion. So if there is any contamination your mechanic wouldn't be able to catch it before damage is done.
