OM642 Intake Manifold Removal/Oil Cooler Seals

Published at : 13 Dec 2025

In this video we remove the intake manifolds from a Mercedes-Benz OM642 diesel. We get right up to the point of removing the oil cooler. All that is left would be physically removing the cooler to replace the seals, which is only 10 bolts and very easy to do. A decent amount of tools are required for this job. I have listed them below.
