Mercedes G-Class W463 / GLE W166 – Complete Engine | OM642.886 / OM642.826 | OEM Specification | Direct Replacement
Secure an outstanding engine solution for two of the most iconic, most capable, and most celebrated models in the entire Mercedes-Benz SUV range — a complete engine featuring the highly acclaimed OM642.886 / OM642.826 unit — a proven, refined, and extensively respected V6 diesel powerplant engineered to the exacting standards of Mercedes-Benz and perfectly matched to the demanding performance, capability, and refinement requirements of both the legendary G-Class W463 G350 and the sophisticated GLE W166 G350 applications. An exceptional replacement solution for workshops, specialist dealers, and owners seeking a genuine factory-grade V6 diesel engine with complete confidence in quality, specification accuracy, and long-term reliability.
The Mercedes-Benz OM642 is one of the most celebrated, most widely respected, and most extensively proven diesel engines ever produced by Mercedes-Benz across its entire illustrious engine manufacturing history — a 3.0-litre V6 diesel powerplant of legendary reputation that has earned universal acclaim among owners, automotive journalists, workshop specialists, and enthusiasts worldwide for a combination of qualities that very few diesel engines of any era or manufacturer have matched as comprehensively or consistently. The inherent mechanical balance of the 60-degree V6 architecture delivers a refinement and smoothness of operation that is entirely unlike any four-cylinder diesel alternative — a near-silent cruising character, a characterful and sonorous engine note under acceleration, and a freedom from vibration and harshness that transforms the driving experience of both the G-Class W463 and the GLE W166 into something considerably more refined, more accomplished, and more genuinely pleasurable than any four-cylinder alternative could provide.
The OM642.886 / OM642.826 variants are specifically calibrated for the G350 and GLE applications within the W463 and W166 platforms respectively — delivering the optimised power output, torque curve, and performance character precisely matched to the specific drivetrain architecture, transmission calibration, and chassis dynamics of each model. In the G-Class W463 G350 context, the OM642 V6 diesel delivers the effortless low-down torque, strong pulling capability, and refined cruising performance that perfectly complements the legendary off-road capability and iconic on-road presence of the G-Class — providing the power and torque reserves required for demanding off-road use, loaded towing, and high-speed motorway cruising with equal composure and confidence. In the GLE W166 application, the OM642 V6 delivers the premium refinement, smooth power delivery, and strong performance character that the sophisticated, luxury-oriented character of the GLE demands — creating a driving experience of genuine quality and accomplishment that is entirely befitting of the GLE’s position as one of the most prestigious and desirable luxury SUVs in the global market.
Every internal and external component of this complete OM642.886 / OM642.826 engine — including the precision-machined cylinder block and heads, forged crankshaft, pistons, bearings, camshafts, twin turbochargers with intercooling system, high-pressure common rail direct injection system, EGR system, timing chain assembly, and all ancillary systems — is present and complete, delivering a fully comprehensive and immediately ready-to-install V6 diesel solution.
