Mercedes-Benz OM 460 LA Engine Service Manual

The OM 460 LA is a diesel engine that powers cranes and other heavy machines, so when it's down, the whole machine is down. The service manual is the book you open before you pull a component off it. Technicians and shop crews use it when they're repairing the engine in-house, replacing a part, or working on a machine that came in with no paperwork.

What this manual helps you do

• Replace the coolant pump or coolant thermostat with the removal and installation steps in front of you.
• Check oil pressure and carry out the oil change and filter replacement.
• Remove and install the oil pump, oil filter housing, oil pressure relief valve and oil/water heat exchanger.
• Service the fuel pump, its drive bearing and the fuel heat exchanger.
• Remove and install the alternator, compressor, exhaust manifold and the poly-V-belt tensioning devices.

Who this is for

A crane service technician or rental fleet mechanic who has to get an OM 460 LA back in working order without guessing at the sequence. It also suits independent repair shops and dealer technicians who handle these engines and want a workshop reference on the bench.

Q: How does it fit the job I'm doing?

A: If you're taking off a belt drive, a pump, a heat exchanger, the alternator or the exhaust manifold, you'd expect to find the procedure for that component under its own heading. That keeps the job organised and lets you go straight to the step you need.

Keep it on the bench next to the engine and work through the procedure for the component in front of you.
