Intake Manifold Swirl Flap Rod Repair Kit — Mercedes-Benz OM642 3.0L V6 Diesel | OEM 6420907737
Fix the OM642's #1 Engine Risk — Replace Broken Swirl Flap Rods Before They Destroy Your Engine.
The swirl flap rods on the Mercedes OM642 3.0L V6 diesel are a documented failure point. When the plastic rods break, fragments can enter the intake and get sucked into the engine — causing catastrophic piston and valve damage that can cost $5,000–$15,000+ to repair.
This rod repair kit replaces all the swirl flap linkage rods in the OM642 intake manifold — eliminating the fragmentation risk permanently.
