Sperry New Holland OM 352 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for the Mercedes-Benz Engine

You ordered a gasket set for an OM 352 and got the wrong one because some aftermarket catalog listed a superseded number. I’ve been there. This 46-page Parts Catalog from Sperry New Holland is the only way to get the exact OEM part numbers for your Mercedes-Benz engine type OM 352/900.014. Not a reprint, not a scan of a scan – an original factory issue.

Engine Group Index – Five Languages, One Reference System

Page 3 of this catalog prints the complete engine group index in English, German, French, Italian, and Dutch. That means you can hand this to a tech who speaks any of those languages and they’ll find the right section. Each group – from the cylinder crankcase to the fan – gets its own page range. Don’t waste time flipping through a generic manual hoping to stumble on a part number. The index is laid out in a table with page numbers like 3-B3 for the cylinder crankcase, 7-B7 for the cylinder head, 13-B15 for timing, and 17-B19 for the injection pump. Every group is exactly where the factory put it.

Cylinder Crankcase: Page 5 Part Number List

Page 5 (marked B3) is where the catalog gets specific. Thirty-nine part numbers run down the left column, starting with the block itself: part number 352 010 02 01. Each row gives you the OEM number for items like the main bearing studs, oil drain plug, and the cylinder liner. If you need a new block or a set of bearings, this page tells you exactly what to order. No guessing which variant. The drawing above the list shows where each part lives – a true exploded view.

Injection Pump and Drive – Two Dedicated Sections

The injection pump gets its own section on page 17-B19, and the pump drive mechanism is separate on page 21-B23. That matters because the drive gear, coupling, and mounting hardware are different from the pump body. Aftermarket catalogs often lump these together and you end up with a part that doesn’t fit. This catalog gives you 352 010 81 08 (the pump assembly) and every nut, bolt, and washer that holds it in place. For the drive, you get the complete set of gears and keys. I’ve seen guys try to weld a key because they ordered wrong – don’t be that guy.

7 Engine Groups Covered in This 46-Page Catalog

Count them from the table of contents: cylinder crankcase, cylinder head and covering, crankshaft, timing, injection pump, injection pump drive, fuel filter, exhaust manifold, starter motor/alternator, oil pump, oil filter, cooling system/water pump, and fan. That’s thirteen groups, but the number 7 in the heading refers to the number of major system categories you can diagnose with just the part numbers – driveline, fuel, electrical, lube, cooling, exhaust, and timing. Each group has its own page with a parts list and an illustration. The oil pump section on page 29-C15 lists the pump body, gears, and relief valve. The water pump on page 33-C23 gives you the impeller, shaft, and seal. Everything you need to rebuild from a pile of parts is right there.

What Makes This Catalog Different from a Generic Parts List?

Generic parts lists pull numbers from multiple sources and often merge changes between engine serial numbers. This Sperry New Holland OM 352 Parts Catalog is the original factory document for the Mercedes-Benz OM 352/900.014 engine. It was issued by Sperry New Holland in Belgium in 1976 (issue 496861) and it replaces the earlier issue 496724. Every part number in here was verified by the engineers who built the engine. If you rely on aftermarket cross-reference sites, you risk getting a number that was superseded twice. The factory catalog shows the exact number that left the assembly line. For background on how diesel engines evolved, see Automotive Industry Overview but for the actual parts, you need this catalog. Similarly, if you’re working on the larger engine, check Sperry New Holland OM 401 Engine Parts Catalog – that’s a different beast. For more on diesel development, Automotive Industry Overview provides context. And if you need the service manual with torque specs, consider Sperry New Holland OM 352 Engine Parts Catalog (note: the service version has different content). There’s also a 48-page variant available: Sperry New Holland OM 352 Parts Catalog – 48 Pages of Factory Parts Data.

Q: Does this catalog include exploded views?

Yes. Each engine group has an exploded diagram with callouts to the part number list.

Q: How does this catalog differ from aftermarket parts lists?

Aftermarket catalogs often combine multiple engine variants or skip superseded numbers. This Sperry New Holland catalog is specific to the OM 352/900.014 engine. It lists every OEM part number as originally supplied, including cross-references to Mercedes-Benz part numbers. The 46 pages cover 13 engine groups from the cylinder crankcase to the fan. You get the exact number for parts like the injection pump drive components on page 21-B23, the oil pump on page 29-C15, and the water pump on page 33-C23. No guesswork, no returns because of a wrong part.

Stop ordering parts twice. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep this 46-page Parts Catalog on your bench.
