G'day All,

I'm hoping some of you petrol gurus over here will be able to help out your diesel cousins on the other forum...

I've started a thread asking about a relatively common problem with OM617 / 616 / 615 engines => balancer failure

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=302332

I'm trying to work out why these fail.

The following list of petrol engines also have a similar design balancer - well they use the same dowel pins as the OM61X engines.

So the question is:-

Has anyone ever had a balancer problem on a

M110 / 114 / 115 / 127 / 130 / 180

engine?

Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

In my experience they only fail if the central bolt (M18) is not tightened
correctly. Normally they don't make problems.

Thanks for the reply - good to know.
