541 188 12 04S ACTROS MP2 / MP3 OM 501 LA. III Oil Cooler Cover

What does an oil cooler cover do?

This engine oil cooler cover serves as a critical component in the engine cooling system, designed to enclose the oil cooler housing and hold the cooling core bundle securely in its seat. By maintaining a precise seal, it ensures that engine oil and coolant remain in separate, controlled circuits, preventing dangerous fluid mixing. This component is manufactured using high-strength components to withstand the thermal stresses and mechanical pressures found in heavy commercial vehicle engines.

Compatible Mercedes-Benz ACTROS models

This specific part is engineered for Mercedes-Benz ACTROS MP2 / MP3 heavy-duty trucks, specifically designed to fit engines including the OM 501 LA and OM 501 LA. III variants. It is compatible with various models such as the 2544 LS, 1848, 2648 B, and 3341, among others within the ACTROS series. Ensuring the correct fitment for your specific engine variant is essential for maintaining optimal oil temperature regulation.

Installation and maintenance guidance

During installation, technicians should carefully inspect the sealing surfaces to ensure they are free from debris or old gasket residue. Proper torque application to the mounting bolts is vital to maintain the integrity of the oil transfer channels and prevent leaks between the oil and coolant circuits. Regular inspection of this component during routine maintenance can help prevent overheating issues caused by improper sealing.
