Known weak points

  • Timing chain sprocket wear on the camshaft adjuster (OM646), causing rattling noise and a check engine light
  • Wiring harness insulation near the engine/transmission degrading and becoming sticky, causing electrical faults
  • Turbocharger wear leading to smoke and loss of power if oil changes are neglected
  • Glow plug and glow plug relay failure causing hard cold starts
  • EGR valve clogging with soot on later OM646 engines, causing rough idle
  • Injector seal leaks causing hard starting and a diesel smell at idle

Fuse assignment varies by equipment level and production year. Always confirm with the label on the fuse box cover or the owner's manual.
