Description

The M51 is a water-cooled and turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel engine with a Bosch VP20-swirl-chamber-injection.[1][2] Some engine variants have an intercooler in addition to the turbocharger, they can be identified by the tds.[2] The M51 is an engine made of cast iron, it has one chain driven overhead camshaft[3] and two valves per cylinder.[2][3] Compared to the M21 the M51 has now tappets and a hydraulic valve lash adjustment.[2] The fuel injection in the first engines is controlled by the ECU Bosch DDE 2.1, which was replaced after the first technical revision by the DDE 2.2.[3] This results in greater torque at lower revs.[3] For lubrication SAE 5W-40 oil is used.[4]
