Mercedes-Benz Service Manual Engine 601 | PDF

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.
