Gotta appreciate the old generation of diesels, where they were built to last - no dpf, no plastic engine components or fancy electronics prone to failure
While I kind of agree with you I have to say that these engines had plastic components and an ecu . The injection pump was electronically controlled and the Mercedes of the 90s suffered greatly from rotting wiring harnesses because they chose recyclable cable insulations . On the other hand modern engine management is a blessing even for tuners . We wouldn't be able to achieve nearly the power we do without modern engine management and the electronics got so much more reliable . I would rather say that the 90s were a heaven for great engines because the manufacturing capabilities were there to build very strong components but the computing power wasn't there to engineer them so they would just barely be strong enough to hold the required power in order to save money .
They dont Need DPF. Indirect injection engines don't make NoX comparable to New engines. It's a common rail High pressure Lean running engine problem. NoX is a manufactured issue. Since Diesels were forced to Use less and less fuel because Oil companies defended their interests by raising Fuel prices to protect Gasoline cars that were losing all battles very fast to ever-growing power and speed of 90s Turbo diesels. And Gasoline cars Sell Oil reserves not Diesels.
@@DexMaster881Are you serious? You've just shown to have absolutely no idea here. DPF is for Diesel Particle Filter, that is, soot, smoke! Older diesels made a lot more because the injection systems wouldn't atomize the fuel very fine, that's why we got into the 2200bar common rail, fuel spray is much finer, combustion is greatly enhanced, thus better economy and less soot. The Nox trap is an entirely different thing. Also, they ran much higher compression ratios, easily 21-25:1, so they made a lot more Nox, that's why modern diesel have much lower compression, around 16:1. A diesel always run very lean, unless floored.
@@dabyd64 Thank you Fellow Mechanical Engineer. I forgot my Diploma isnt approved by World Indoctrination organization. FYI Sooth is Overfueling or, Running Rich state on Old diesels. To be more precise, more fuel than air volume can handle results in a rich state that Significantly raises combustion Temps since theres not enough air to filly combust all the fuel. NoX is an occurance when theres a Lean state. Theres too much N from the Burn left to Bond with air and return to natural state. Produced by the lack of burning components in Modern Diesel fuel that has natural stabilizing components removed from it. Like Sulfur. As a result all impurities in Fuel and air get charred and you see sooth. On top of which there is more fuel with more impurities that can not be burned because theres a lack of air to satisfy optimal AFR. They always there But it's not burned unless the combustion Temp doesn't reach needed levels. Same particles always come in and out of the Engine in Gasoline cars and Common rails but dont get Burned unless there is something very off with AFR. Like a well worn engine,or Over tuned one.

Great video as always man 👍 Every Mercedes engine of this era is way more capable than Mercedes made them, this is why you see so many massive milage 80-90s Mercedes car. All these where made when Mercedes truly over built their engines. Also many of the petrol and diesel engines used design features or measurements from each other, for example I plan to fit a OM 601 D23 crankshaft in a M111 2.3 to build a stroker engine with shortened rods. This is why I and many others love tuning these old engines.
Well its incorrect Diesel burns slower. It actually burns faster. Diesel Burn is done 95% by the time Piston does 1/3 of its travel on the combustion cycle. Reason Why Diesels have lower RPM is: Heavier parts providing more inertia, and Injection system. Diesel fuel is compressible and at high RPM it starts lagging the ignition timing. Since Fuel injection is Ignition timing device, It reaches a point where Does not Start to squirt at TDC or slightly before TDC(which is a manufacturer compensation system for fuel compressibility). For Mercedes Om 602/603 Fuel Pump is set to start squirting 13 deg before TDC because of the Fuel line length and fuel compression compensation. And that's at around 150bar. Common rail is much bigger pressure on later DI diesels. Late injection results in Late ignition, that results in power decrease and Engine loses the ability to speed up. Same as Gasoline engine with late spark... The fact Diesel burns faster is also one of the reasons why Diesel engines have more torque. Because The Power is delivered while the Combustion space is still small. Increasing the efficiency of the explosion that pushes the Piston down. Its also the reason for Diesel Knocking sounds because you have stronger explosions that last shorter, making a distinct Start and end, resulting in sounds that are more individually distinct per explosion. While Gasoline engines burn for longer ,resulting in Burns that take place in larger space and as such waste energy since it no longer pushes the piston but turns to heat. That in combination with Less energy dense fuel and Lower compression to begin with badly affects torque. Also why you need more Fuel to keep the engine running. And also a reason Why Diesel Engines rarely throw short flames only visible when Exhaust headers are off at High RPM, while Gasoline cars can throw flames that will come out the End of the Entire exhaust system.
Thank you for this amazing video as always! I recently sold my buddy a om606 turbo and he’s still debating on what car to put it in. He’s going to do a full power build with a manual transmission. We both come from m57’s and the 606 deserves its respect.
Another great mercedes diesel is the 3.2L om648 I would say it has the same capabilities as the om606 or even more, more tunable, less smoke, more power :)
Very cool engine, very happy to see a video from you about it. Been following a build by the Boosted Bois on here too, where they snuck one of these under the hood of an old nissan 240z. Haven't seen too many recent updates on that, but altogether really makes me want to see more people using this instead of other i6 engines in their project cars.
Gotta love a nice OM606 video 🥰 ... fun thing is due to the mechanic fuel pump these engines run great on nearly any oils you throw at them, Dieselpump UK has even done a dyno comparison of veggie oil vs normal diesel, turned out the veggie oil from Costco had some more hp in it then diesel 😆👌
U can, Mercedes loves the veggie oil. But I personally have 2 tanks, one tank with diesel for the starting and stopping the motor. That way you keep the pump and injectors clean from veggie.oil which can clog up when cold. You can just stick a plastic boat tank in your boot diesel in a run a lineup
@@jinglemyberries866 my dad and i both owned Mercedes 190 D 2.5 a decade or two ago and did many thousand km on veggie oil, often mixed in the tank with diesel. Never had any issues. It's a temperature thing. Veggie oil in summer, diesel in winter, and mixed in spring and fall worked good for us. But nowadays with mordern diesel engines and veggie oil being even more expensive then diesel the really fun times of rolling not coal but McDonald's smell fumes are over 😕😅
I was driven around Kenya and other neighbouring nations in a 1960's MB 911 4WD truck. I remember we climbed a mountain at walking pace and engine just kept on going and going even after 50 years in hard service.
I had my Mercedes diesel remapped. It lost a little at the bottom but at 3000 it lights on fire. The downshift is only there if I push hard so its not wasteful or nervous. My big, heavy, diesel sipping 4 cylinder powered wagon is faster than my 70' base model Corvette gas guzzler.
Visio great video as usual 😊👍😌 great to see these Merc engines finally making a name would be good to see the m104 the petrol version of this seem over 1000bhp many times 😁
Bought a 1999 E300td 6 months ago with a genuine 34k on the clock for the wife to do the school run in and commute to work, it's incredible in all honestly solid well built no rattles creaks etc the engine is fantastic and with the auto gearbox is also better then I thought it would be, it's a very impressive car for it's age and I got it for an excellent price I know there known for reliability hence why when this come up I had to have it and so far me my wife and kids all prefer to take it out for a family day rather then my 335i !
Love the diesel engines of mercedes light trucks and vans , the good old OM314 and later OM364 and later turbo and intercooler versions . As long as you feed them oil , they will keep going for ever. Simpel technique that almost everyone can fix with simple tools , and most important : no computer and EGR .
My only gripe with the OM606 Turbo is that aluminium isn’t the best material for a Diesel engine head, in the naturally aspirated versions, they’re fine, but, it left a negative impact on the legacy of the turbocharged versions. My main gripe with the OM617, likewise, is that it’s not an inline 6, or DOHC. If they made a cast iron head for the OM606 Turbo, that would solve its main problem.
Nice video, problem here in Australia that people who could afford to buy luxury cars when new, they're didn't buy diesels. I heard the early SsangYong Musso used a Mercedes diesel or a copied one.
Diesel engines are amazing and are built like a tank and it would last longer on regular maintenance and with a aftermarket exhaust it sounds like a jet engine during startup
Miss my w210 3,2 turbo diesel 197horsepower . Have got 3 of thoose. 2 sedans and 1 wagon. But godt to exspensive to own in denmark . Road tax is 12xxxdkr per year .
My OM606 TURBO has 398k miles and counting runs like a sewing machine woupd like to rebuild and refresh the whole engine and make a racehorse/workhorse motor for a chevy truck
uh do you mean the best aluminum diesel engine? people are constantly forgetting the materials that were used in these diesel engines.. the 616/617 were technically the best cause the block and head were made of cast iron and can withstand alot of issues.. even if the head needs some maintanence.. with 606 theres always gonna need to be some type of welding repair to the head due to overheating issues or coolant issues.
I'm looking at a mercedes w210 with a 606 engine without a turbo, can you easily put a turbo on it or is it best to find one with a turbo? and what is the difference between one with a turbo and one without
probably because its so reliable is because it doesnt make so much torque. one of the killers of the isuzu 4JJ1 is torque is why they snap cranks from torsional and torque twist. 4jj1 made 144hp and 294nm in 2006 at less rpm than the om606 because its max revrange is 4200rpm... what most common diesels sit at and are good at because of it. "Low-end torque" the om606 is a diesel engine in my opinion made by mercedes to replicate petrol performance in a diesel engine. its missing displacement per cylinder for extra torque and revs way too high.
Just a matter of time for diesel to beat gasoline especially for insane boost ability that gasoline never will. but the world now interested more to EV's...
I love om606 and of course the om648. Absolutely brilliant engines. Mercedes are good at petrols too though like the m275. All appear to be the last great engines from mercedes 😞
Me and My Brother managed to put om 606 on MB 190d it had Scania truck turbo it had 2.8bar boost and about 450 whp and weight 1348kg ASD Hydraulick locking diff it was "intresting" to drive🤣
very capable engine, for sure, but don't believe those 7K and 7K+ RPM stories. Sure, you can rev it that high with almost zero fuel/power, but it will detonate the engine with any serious power output at that rpm. It won't breathe at 7K+, and the fuel simply burns too slowly.
Given I have an OM606 swapped G wagon sat on the drive pushing out a tad over 300bhp, I’m a bit biased. An absolute beast of an engine. MB at their best. 700bhp possible on stock internals is testimony to the sheer engineering brilliance of these engines. Viewers would do well to look up the Diesel Pump U.K. channel. Luke works wonders with MB diesels.

My main gripe with the OM617, likewise, is that it’s not an inline 6, or DOHC. If they made a cast iron head for the OM606 Turbo, that would solve its main problem.
up in the north people put om606s in everything
its just so good😂
You should have a review on their new 2.0L 4 inline twin turbo diesel engine
Is it Euro 7 emissions compliant? 🤓
only reliable engine that is Euro 7 compliant is walking on legs ayylmao
Euro7 is stupid
Nice video, problem here in Australia that people who could afford to buy luxury cars when new, they're didn't buy diesels. I heard the early SsangYong Musso used a Mercedes diesel or a copied one.
Yes om602 non turbo
And om662 turbo Musso 👍
@@stevenmay3011 cheers mate. They r a bit pricey here.
Beautiful engine ,I’m preparing one as well to put in bmw e36,mechanical pump and big turbo… 😁🤙🏻
Diesel engines are amazing and are built like a tank and it would last longer on regular maintenance and with a aftermarket exhaust it sounds like a jet engine during startup
In Brazil, we love diesel OM364 engine
M57 and OM606 are the best 6 cylinder CI engines for cars.
You forgot the m104 and the VR6
@@christianforster5176 VR6 is not so reliable as you think.
Another great mercedes engine for tuning and reliability is the inline 6 3.2L om648, same or more power potential than the om606
Miss my w210 3,2 turbo diesel 197horsepower . Have got 3 of thoose. 2 sedans and 1 wagon. But godt to exspensive to own in denmark . Road tax is 12xxxdkr per year .
Love the power of a diesel❤
Most of the powerful cars do run a mech pump from a earlier motor on the newer 606. Deisel pump UK has heaps of info
the om648 is even more of a beast
I'd like to add that BMW's D30 have similar potential to some degree but burn less diesel oil
What´s a BMW D30?
@@Avke92 D30 is part BMW's engine code. It indicates 3.0 l diesel engine
@@hocek11 I got confused, thought you meant a engine family like N57.
I'm pretty sure that if you're burning any petrol at all in a diesel, you're doing something exceedingly wrong.
My OM606 TURBO has 398k miles and counting runs like a sewing machine woupd like to rebuild and refresh the whole engine and make a racehorse/workhorse motor for a chevy truck
Finally om606. Does this mean a m104 video is coming next?
I've got the om602.982, and my friend a om606, the last is the better diesel engine for improve
Holy shit. It really did sound like 2jz.
Excelente!! thanks for share!!
What does everyone think of the 5 cyl om605? Is the reliability similar?
Yep, and has almost the same power potential
@@ailokemi92 Thank you. I don't really care about raw power all that much. I just want an engine that can take me to hell and back.
Yeah is the same but 5 cylinder, the good think of 605 is the sound is fuckng awesome
@@nicolasp7395 Very good.
Do an M57 engine next
why wont they put that sweet diesel in the G wagon..? i hear the new model over heats..
It isnt up to date with the climate standards, sadly 😢
isuzu 4JJ vid suggestion
uh do you mean the best aluminum diesel engine? people are constantly forgetting the materials that were used in these diesel engines.. the 616/617 were technically the best cause the block and head were made of cast iron and can withstand alot of issues.. even if the head needs some maintanence.. with 606 theres always gonna need to be some type of welding repair to the head due to overheating issues or coolant issues.
Very nice vid. Best engine for me.
the om606 is the diesel 2jz
Oh man we need bmw m57 review!!!!
2:10: Approximately 6 seconds from 0 to 100 is sure downhill!
I'm looking at a mercedes w210 with a 606 engine without a turbo, can you easily put a turbo on it or is it best to find one with a turbo? and what is the difference between one with a turbo and one without
what is better om606 or om 613?
I’m sorry but we got to have it in all Sprinter vans instead of that 2.0L 4cyl fuelhog
Can you do a vid on the OM617?
probably because its so reliable is because it doesnt make so much torque. one of the killers of the isuzu 4JJ1 is torque is why they snap cranks from torsional and torque twist. 4jj1 made 144hp and 294nm in 2006 at less rpm than the om606 because its max revrange is 4200rpm... what most common diesels sit at and are good at because of it. "Low-end torque" the om606 is a diesel engine in my opinion made by mercedes to replicate petrol performance in a diesel engine. its missing displacement per cylinder for extra torque and revs way too high.
m104 103 video please
Just a matter of time for diesel to beat gasoline especially for insane boost ability that gasoline never will. but the world now interested more to EV's...
What's the opinion of the om642 195kw?
Om616 in the w123 is the best diesel in history
But Peltola said it doesnt last long in drifting
Dpuk knows there om 606s and make epic products for them
Wich manual transmission do you swap in a w210 300td?
I love om606 and of course the om648. Absolutely brilliant engines. Mercedes are good at petrols too though like the m275. All appear to be the last great engines from mercedes 😞
They're all good engines
What is the weight of this motor stock ? ? ?
Me and My Brother managed to put om 606 on MB 190d it had Scania truck turbo it had 2.8bar boost and about 450 whp and weight 1348kg ASD Hydraulick locking diff it was "intresting" to drive🤣
I'm going to put one of these into an offroad Sprinter Camper. Not crazy powerful - maybe 350bhp. Wouldn't even consider anything else.
very capable engine, for sure, but don't believe those 7K and 7K+ RPM stories. Sure, you can rev it that high with almost zero fuel/power, but it will detonate the engine with any serious power output at that rpm. It won't breathe at 7K+, and the fuel simply burns too slowly.
I thought this was going to be about cdis.. was a bit disappointed at least.
So does anyone know of steel piston dynamics???
Thank god for petrol engines.
Om605 2.5L TD 150 hp
You cut the end of the video just at the best part of the clip? Wtf?
Om602 is the most for longer
All mercedes engines are very good
Given I have an OM606 swapped G wagon sat on the drive pushing out a tad over 300bhp, I’m a bit biased. An absolute beast of an engine. MB at their best. 700bhp possible on stock internals is testimony to the sheer engineering brilliance of these engines. Viewers would do well to look up the Diesel Pump U.K. channel. Luke works wonders with MB diesels.
700bhp on stock internals is a myth, never seen one with stock internals pushing over 500 reliable hp
best engine ever made
OM606 is the 2JZ of diesels.
Sorry but where are you from? So interesting pronunciation))
Slovakia
the crankshafts are actually high carbon chromium forged steel, and the rods are forged steel in the medium carbon range.
best diesel engine 😍😍😍
