Frequently Asked Questions

Is the OM651 balance shaft issue addressed in this manual?

Yes. The OM651 2.1L diesel fitted to E250 CDI models has a known tendency for balance shaft sprocket wear on earlier production units. This manual covers complete timing chain and balance shaft assembly procedures, including torque specifications and the special tooling required to correctly time the engine after component replacement.

Does this manual cover both the W212 sedan and the S212 estate?

It covers both body styles. The W212 four-door sedan and S212 wagon share the same core mechanical architecture, and the manual includes body-specific procedures where differences exist — such as rear suspension geometry and cargo area trim removal for the estate.

Are full wiring diagrams included for the CAN-bus and fuel injection circuits?

Yes. Electrical coverage includes color-coded wiring diagrams for the engine management system, common rail injection circuits, 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission control module, CAN-bus network layout, climate control, and lighting. Connector pinouts and ground point references are provided throughout.
