Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the OM642 intake manifold swirl flaps fail, and does the manual cover the repair?
The OM642’s plastic swirl flap actuator arms are prone to cracking and depositing debris into the engine. This manual covers the full intake manifold removal procedure, swirl flap assembly inspection, and actuator replacement with correct torque values – allowing you to address this common issue before it causes serious engine damage.
Does this manual cover both the W164 and W166 ML350 CDI chassis?
Coverage is specifically for the 2009-2011 ML350 CDI BlueTec 4Matic. The W164 was produced through the 2011 model year, which aligns with this manual’s scope. The W166 generation launched in the 2012 model year and is not included in this publication.
Are AdBlue and SCR emissions system procedures included?
Yes. The manual includes complete service procedures for the BlueTec selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, covering the AdBlue dosing injector, NOx sensors, DEF pump, and associated wiring harnesses. Fault code diagnosis and component replacement steps are fully documented.
