Mercedes-Benz OM636 engine

Automotive Engines

The Mercedes-Benz OM636 is a diesel engine that Daimler-Benz produced from 1948 until 1990, the successor to the OM138 and used both in passenger cars and as an industrial engine. Development began during the Second World War and was complete by 1948, when pre-series units went into the Boehringer Unimog. In 1949 the W136 was offered with the 1.7 litre OM636 making 38 PS, and it served through the 1950s in the W120 in a 1.8 litre form. After the W110 arrived in 1961 it was no longer a Daimler-Benz car engine, though it stayed in production for small lorries, boats and combine harvesters, in Spain until 1990. SEAT used a licensed version in its 1800 D from 1969.
