Hey guys, I’m front southern Ontario Canada, looking at buying a 2012/2013 E350 with the OM642 3.0 V6 diesel. I’ve heard good and bad things, I know the oil cooler seal is bound to go, intake swirl flaps are useless, and the emissions are better off gone.
I’m currently driving a RHD TDI 6MT Audi a3 which is for sale if anyones looking for something different.
Are the OM642’s worth buying? Someone give me some tips and advice.
Located in Canada Ontario
2006 Audi A3 BKD TDI right hand drive imported from the UK with a 6 speed manual. It’s a full 2.5” straight pipe paired with a custom tune. Car is in mechanically great condition with a brand new turbo and top end engine rebuild. Making roughly 200+ hp and 350+ lb of torque. I can send you any and all tune files I have for this car including stock files, oem turbo files, custom tunes, and my eco fuel efficient tune. Along with the tool needed to tune it. Comes with a set of summers with bbs reps, and a set of winter tires with oem Audi rims. Underbody is clean, but rust on rocker arms.
I still have the dealership book that came with the car from the UK as well as the keychain from the specific dealership that sold it

Please note that the car is in miles, not km. As well as the underbody pictures are now 8 months old. The stock exhaust is no longer there.
