Mercedes Benz G Class G 350 d Engine History & Specs at a Glance

The Mercedes Benz G 350 d arrived in 2015 as the facelifted W463 generation's updated diesel flagship, replacing the G 350 CDI with a more powerful iteration of the OM642 V6 diesel - and later transitioned to the W464 generation with the same engine before being phased out in favour of the OM656 inline-six in the G 400 d.

Common Problems

Mercedes Benz G Class G 350 d Engine Problems Repair Cost vs Replacement

The Mercedes Benz G Class G 350 d relies on the OM642 V6 diesel - a generally robust engine that has developed a well-documented reputation for specific failures. The oil cooler seal issue dominates replacement demand, while EGR cooler and turbocharger-related problems also drive repair enquiries. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EnginesMarket includes upgraded components designed to address the original failure point - plus a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. Below we break down the most common G 350 d engine failures, what they cost to fix, and when replacement is the smarter financial decision.

Common failure points and repair options

OM642 Oil Cooler Seal Failure

Affected
Mercedes Benz G Class G 350 d (OM642.887, OM642 LS, 2015-2023)
Typical failure mileage
60,000 - 90,000 miles
Root cause
The factory rubber oil cooler seals harden and shrink due to heat cycling, allowing oil to mix with coolant and external oil leaks to form at the V-angle of the engine. Mercedes Service Bulletin LI18.30-P-055434 addresses this known issue.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Minor - Seal Replacement£1,800-£2,500£900-£1,400
Intermediate - Oil Cooler & Seal Assembly£2,500-£3,500£1,400-£2,000
Full Replacement - Rebuilt Engine£8,000-£12,000£4,800-£7,500
Our recommendation
If caught early with only external weeping, the seal-only specialist fix at £900-£1,400 is excellent value and should last 60k+ miles with revised seals. However, if the leak has caused coolant contamination or the engine has overheated, we recommend the full rebuilt route - contaminated oil galleries often cause turbo or bearing failure within 10k-15k miles of a partial repair.

OM642 EGR Cooler Failure

Affected
Mercedes Benz G Class G 350 d (OM642.887, OM642 LS, 2015-2023)
Typical failure mileage
80,000 - 120,000 miles
Root cause
The EGR cooler can crack internally, allowing coolant to leak into the exhaust system - triggering low coolant warnings, white smoke, and emissions-related fault codes. Carbon buildup also causes the EGR valve to stick open or closed.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Minor - EGR Valve Cleaning£300-£500£150-£300
Major - EGR Cooler Replacement£1,200-£1,800£700-£1,100
Full Replacement - Rebuilt Engine£8,000-£12,000£4,800-£7,500
Our recommendation
On a G 350 d with 80k+ miles, we recommend having the EGR system inspected during any major service. If the cooler is leaking, specialist replacement at £700-£1,100 is the right call - don't ignore coolant loss, as it can lead to overheating and more extensive engine damage.

OM642 Turbocharger & Timing Chain Wear

Affected
Mercedes Benz G Class G 350 d (OM642.887, OM642 LS, 2015-2023)
Typical failure mileage
120,000 - 180,000 miles
Root cause
The variable geometry turbocharger can suffer from sticking vanes due to carbon buildup, while the timing chain can stretch on very high-mileage units - though the later single-row chain fitted from 2015 is considerably more durable than earlier dual-row versions.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Minor - Turbo VNT Cleaning£400-£700£250-£500
Major - Turbocharger Replacement£2,000-£3,000£1,200-£1,800
Full Replacement - Rebuilt Engine£8,000-£12,000£4,800-£7,500
Our recommendation
The OM642's timing chain is not a major concern on post-2015 G 350 d models - as one specialist notes, "unless you intend to drive it past 200K miles, I wouldn't worry about it." For turbo issues, start with VNT cleaning before committing to a full replacement - many sticking vane problems can be resolved without removing the turbo.
