I had the exhaust manifolds rebuilt on my Vito, which has the OM642 V6 engine. This required removing the engine and transmission. However, I wondered whether there might be easier access in a GL model. The manifolds possess a steel liner that may undergo delamination, resulting in the release of metal fragments into the turbocharger, necessitating the replacement of the turbocharger as well. Prior to this, I was unaware of any instances where manifolds have been reported to break, as described by the original poster (OP).

Thank you for sharing the information. To be honest, I was unaware of it.

I appreciate your response. I anticipated that would be the response. Currently, I am not experiencing the troublesome countdown problem. I have implemented a de-crystallising agent to address the issue. Additionally, I have contemplated removing the AD Blue system, but I am not well-informed about the potential consequences in terms of passing the MOT test, maintaining resale value, and complying with legal regulations.

Many individuals have reported encountering problems with the engine management light, specifically the inability to read the AD Blue fluid level. I am experiencing this issue as well, although occasionally the correct reading does appear. For instance, it initially showed 8600 miles remaining, but has now decreased to 8300 miles. Despite the car functioning properly, the engine management light remains illuminated, causing concern. Additionally, the inability to consistently read the fluid level persists intermittently. The diagnostic check conducted by my local garage revealed that there is a defect with the AD Blue system. The garage believes that the issue is due to overfilling, and they suggested that the problem will resolve itself when the level of AD Blue reduces. However, further investigation indicates that it is not possible to repair only the level sensor, but rather the whole tank has to be replaced. The user's text consists of four pound signs (££££).
