This is the Bosch 0986435404, a piezo common-rail fuel injector remanufactured by Bosch for the Mercedes-Benz OM642 3.0L V6 diesel. Catalogs list it for the 2012 to 2014 ML350, the 2013 to 2015 GL350 and the 2012 to 2013 S350 with the BlueTEC diesel. It replaces Mercedes-Benz A6420701187, and it is Bosch’s remanufactured version of the new injector 0445116025. A refundable core applies.
Hard starting, worst with the engine hot, a rough idle, a miss on one cylinder or smoke are the usual reasons an injector comes out of this engine. Carbon packed around an injector usually means the copper seal under it has been leaking, so check the seats before you blame the injectors. Earlier and other models take a different injector. The 2010 and 2011 ML350, the 2010 to 2012 GL350 and the E350 and R350 diesels take Mercedes-Benz 6420701487, Bosch 0986435396, and 2010 and newer Sprinter vans take Bosch 0986435406. Catalogs list each number for its own vehicles only. The engine takes six injectors.

The hold-down bolts on this engine are one-time-use stretch bolts, so fit a new bolt and a new copper seal with every injector. Clean the injector seat before the new seal goes in. A reused bolt or a poor seal lets combustion gas and carbon build up around the injector. Change the fuel filter and clear any dirty or watered fuel before start-up.
