Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The OM642 engine, like many other engines, can develop oil leaks, particularly around the oil cooler and valve covers.

Injector problems

Diesel engines with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) can suffer from injector issues, leading to poor performance or engine misfires.

Turbocharger failure

The turbocharger (TC) in the OM642 can fail, resulting in loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.

Egr valve issues

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can clog or fail, causing poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain in the OM642 can stretch or wear out, potentially leading to engine timing issues and catastrophic failure if not addressed.

Dpf clogging

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged, causing increased backpressure and reduced engine performance.

Glow plug failure

Diesel engines often have issues with glow plugs failing, which can lead to hard starts, especially in cold weather.

Crankshaft pulley failure

The crankshaft pulley can fail, leading to a loss of drive to ancillary components and potential engine damage.

Cooling system issues

Problems with the cooling system, such as radiator leaks or water pump failures, can lead to engine overheating.
