OM602 Head Gasket Failure: A Few Questions
Having just had my head gasket replaced on my 92 300D at 244,000 miles, I had few questions.
1. Is there any pattern to 602 head gasket failure? i.e. does it tend to happen around/above a certain mileage? 2. What factors other than overheating accelerate failure? Green coolant was used in mine for over 200,000 miles....wondering whether that could be a contributing factor. 3. If a head gasket is replaced correctly, should it last as long as the original? Thanks.
