Workshop manual for the Mercedes-Benz OM601 4-cylinder inline 2.2-liter diesel engine.
The Mercedes-Benz OM601 is a four-cylinder inline diesel engine used in several Mercedes-Benz passenger car applications during the 1980s and early 1990s. In the version covered by this manual, it combines a single overhead camshaft layout, mechanical diesel injection and prechamber combustion, making this edition especially relevant for readers looking for a Mercedes-Benz OM601 service manual, OM601 workshop manual or 190 D 2.2 engine manual.
This digital PDF edition was originally created as a workshop service manual and includes diagnostic, inspection, disassembly, adjustment, repair and parts replacement procedures for the application expressly identified as 601.921, corresponding to the Mercedes-Benz 190 D 2.2. It is also useful as a general technical reference for other OM601 engine variants.

Important: the manual expressly identifies the 190 D-2.2, chassis 201.122 and engine 601.921 application. The other applications listed above are only intended as a general guide within the OM601 engine family.
Thanks to its technical approach and level of detail, this digital edition is valuable not only for workshops, but also for restorers, experienced mechanics and advanced enthusiasts who need to consult specific procedures without relying on a full printed copy.
Does this manual cover only one OM601 version or is it useful for several?
