Mercedes-Benz OM 639 / OM 640 diesel engine
2004 to 2012
Technology
The OM 640 has one common-rail injection and four valves per cylinder. All variants are equipped with engine charging and intercooling. As usual with Mercedes, the overhead camshafts are driven by two timing chains .
The motor is inclined forwards by approx. 60 ° and is installed transversely behind the driven front axle on vehicles with sandwich floor . Power is transmitted via a manual gearbox with five (160 CDI) or six gears (180 CDI and 200 CDI) or via the continuously variable Autotronic . The engine and transmission could only be used in these vehicles due to their unusual installation position.
