Frequently Asked Questions
Why do W166 ML350 BlueTec models commonly have oil cooler seal failures?
The OM642 V6 diesel uses an aluminum oil cooler mounted near the valley of the engine. Over time, the rubber seals degrade from heat cycling, causing coolant and oil to mix. This manual provides the full removal sequence, seal part specifications, and torque values needed to perform a correct repair without removing the engine.
Does this manual cover the BlueTec SCR emissions system and AdBlue components?
Yes. Complete coverage is included for the Selective Catalytic Reduction system – including the DEF (AdBlue) tank, dosing injector, NOx sensors upstream and downstream of the catalyst, and the SCR control module. Fault code diagnostics and component testing procedures are fully documented.
Is the 4Matic transfer case and front differential service covered?
Full service procedures are included for the 4Matic permanent all-wheel-drive transfer case, front and rear differentials, propshafts, and associated electronic control systems such as the 4ETS traction management system.
