Mercedes-Benz OM602 engine

The Mercedes-Benz OM602 is a straight-five diesel automobile engine of 2.5 or 2.9 litres, used from the 1980s up to 2002 as the newly developed successor of the OM617. It is closely related to the four-cylinder OM601 and the six-cylinder OM603, and it was itself followed by the four-valve OM605 and later by the turbocharged common rail OM612 and OM647. Some OM602 cars have passed 800,000 or even 1,610,000 kilometres, and it is regarded as one of the most reliable engines ever built. The 2.9 litre version powered the T1 vans, the first Sprinter, the Ssangyong Musso, Korando and Rexton and the 1996 to 1999 E-Class. Most use indirect injection with a Bosch inline pump, while some later 2.9 litre units are direct injection.
