1. Introduction to the OM926 Engine

The Mercedes-Benz OM926 is a fuel-efficient, high-torque 6-cylinder diesel engine commonly used in medium to heavy-duty commercial vehicles and industrial equipment. Part of the Mercedes-Benz “900-series” family of engines, the OM926 offers the high torque and long-term durability fleets, operators, and mechanics require.

With electronic fuel injection, a high-pressure common rail system, and advanced emissions technologies (on newer models), the engine meets both power and environmental requirements in a vast majority of global markets.

We specialize in providing rebuilt and used OM926 engines that have been carefully tested and are ready to install. If you operate a Mercedes Atego truck or a city bus with high capacity, we can match you with an equivalent replacement engine that meets your unique needs.

As with any engine, the OM926 will develop problems eventually, especially with increased mileage or hard use.

Some typical ones are:
Failure of the EGR valve (carbon deposit clogging)

Fuel injector leakage or wear

Wear of the turbocharger or loss of boost

Gasket or valve cover oil leaks

Camshaft wear or lifter tap
