Most likely OM629 V8 4.0ltrMay I ask what is the engine type.
Thats shocking. Is that due to a poor designed engine.
I was actually referring to what went into the diesel tank other than what was recommended by MB? The thread is about the EGR recycling exhaust gasses back through the air intake, nothing to do with engine oil. was yours as bad as this and on what fuel?I had the same on mine a few years ago. Discovered it when replacing the cooler seals.
nothing but MB229.51 oil used from new, not a chip pan in sight.
If you do a search, I did post pictures and it wasn’t far off being a bad. Certainly the garage were surprised when they did the seals.I was actually referring to what went into the diesel tank other than what was recommended by MB?

And in the 10 years / 120k I have owned it the only additives I have used are Redex & Millers.
surprisinly, despite being partialy blocked - there was no noticeable drop in power / performance.
