Exhaust particulate accumulates inside the turbine housing, binding the variable vane mechanism and overworking the electronic stepper actuator. This mechanical drag causes internal actuator gear stripping and solder trace fracture from extreme engine valley heat soak, triggering P0299 underboost codes and limp-home mode. Concurrently, thermal coking in the oil passages accelerates journal bearing wear, leading to oil blow-by past the dynamic seals into the intercooler tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to exact OEM tolerances, this complete turbocharger assembly features high-temperature alloy turbine housing and a cast aluminum compressor wheel balanced dynamically at high speeds to prevent shaft deflection. It comes pre-fitted with a calibrated electronic rotary actuator that syncs with factory ECU vane positioning protocols without recalibration. High-grade journal bearings and heavy-duty thrust collars resist axial loading and endure sustained exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) during diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration cycles, preventing oil bypass and restoring crisp throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × Complete Turbocharger with Pre-Calibrated Electronic Actuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation Hardware and Accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2007-2013 Mercedes Benz GL-Class,M-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOM642\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eW164\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eX164\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e215-240 hp \/ 398-455 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0M642-LS\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420900880\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420901086\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090108660\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090108680\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090108688\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420901680\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090168060\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090168080\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090168088\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420902180\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420902380\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090238060\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090238080\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090238088\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420905380\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090538060\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090538080\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090538088\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420908680\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090868060\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090868080\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090868088\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090878060\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090878080\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090878088\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6420908980\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090898060\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090898080\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642090898088\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2007-2009 Mercedes Benz GL320 3.0L V6 Diesel (X164)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2010-2013 Mercedes Benz GL350 3.0L V6 Diesel (X164)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2007-2009 Mercedes Benz ML320 3.0L V6 Diesel (W164)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2010-2013 Mercedes Benz ML350 3.0L V6 Diesel (W164 \/ W166)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the W164 \/ X164 GL-Class,M-Class?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2007-2013 Mercedes Benz GL-Class,M-Class equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eOM642\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0L Turbo Diesel engine.
