Summary

The Mercedes-Benz ML 280 CDI (W164) is the smallest-power diesel model in the W164 series, but offers better fuel efficiency than larger engines. The V6 Diesel OM642 engine is known for its reliability and good low torque, well adapted to the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission. Common problems reported for the OM642 engine include oil leakage from the oil cooler, the failure of the turbine engines, and the collection of carbon deposits in the intake collector, which can lead to power failure. The inclusion of DPF (Petroleum Particle Filter) requires additional maintenance, especially if the car is mainly used for driving in the city.
