sorry, i've been MIA for a minute, I run my own business and its been crazy. I posted some pictures of what I did a few posts back. It turns off the light and so far so good. One day I'd like to install a pressure gauge and see what is all going on. I haven't really noticed anything driveability wise or engine sound wise. Seems to act the same. I guess at the very least, it'll save people a lot of $$$ to do this since it is a non-essential part as stated by Mercedes themselves!!

Anyone with access to the service manual(WIS/EPC or whatever it is now) willing to lookup for me the what the repair process for the P06DA is on the W222 2019? I'm assuming it would be drop the oil pan and associated tasks. Or if you could just tell me how many hours it should be? Got a quote from the dealer for an insane amount of money....

When you see the engine, everything that is plastic will start to crumble as the technician works on it --> Misc parts will need to be replaced. Because of the insane amount of work you are better off replacing them anyways.

w/o looking into WIS, I assume your W222 is a V8 Bi-turbo, correct? In that case, 99.9999% is an engine out procedure -> $$$. Now, why do you want to fix it? Have you measured oil pressures at different engine RPMs?

when opportunities knock open the f**** door...
I think there's an real opportunity for forum sponsor @BenzNinja to help code out this fault remotely.
Few owners prefer to get milked for an engine out to replace a nagging part that may turn out very beneficial as proven on tested chassis.
It's a win-win to become ninja member and money well saved to get awesome oiling improvements.
Sounds like a no brainer, right Peter?

I read the code and looked online a bit, seemed like it was going to be about a 10 hour job to repair(but maybe not on W222?) sent it to the dealer. Don't have it back yet. I looked at the oil pressure check procedure, so when I get it back I'll give that a go.

Likely similar to the E400, M276 TT with a different tune. I do not think you can remove the oil pan of the M276 w/o removing the subframe, or engine out. Similar plastic parts as the V8, but the engine definitely more robust.
Unfortunately, poor lighting
Better lighting, the solenoid is at the front, on the "upper pan"

Considering ordering a solenoid and bypassing.
Found an indy shop for about 1/3 of dealer.

I think the solenoid is at the top of the oil pan, not accessible from below unless the "middle pan" is removed.
Here is the EPC for that engine https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/e...asis=222167P24

CHOICES...
because it actually makes the engine run better with normal oiling instead of limited pressure with extreme heat backing engine plastics.
I am begining to wonder if there is a failsafe thermofuse in that harness that cuts off power given extreme heat was reached. It would ve useful to do a little postmortem harness review.
At any rate request your favorite MB specialist to inspect oil leaking out of cam sensor harness before it becomes a $10k repair... caused by extreme heat this fault helps prevent.

Somewhere I wrote this code points to a lucky fault...

I am begining to wonder if there is a failsafe thermofuse in that harness that cuts off power given high enough extreme heat was reached.
At any rate request MB Specialist to inspect oil leaking out of CPS harness before it becomes a $10k repair... caused by extreme heat.

According to the ASRA, the removal and installation of the oil pump is 5.3 hours. The solenoid is not independently identified, so I picked what I think will be an equivalent effort.

Some of us understand well how one thing leads to another.

How in the world could the dealer recommend engine and transmission out if ASRA is quoting 5.3 hours. Watching the guy that made the video on a non-W222 drop the subframe, I believe a good tech could do it in 5.3, but it would be close.

There must be some prerequisites for the 5.3 hours.

I used 222.064 which is probably close if not exact. (222.064 is an S450 4matic.) And yes, BIG difference. The ASRA hours are 13.2 hours to remove and install the oil pump. Seems like most of the labor is removing the oil pan.
There is no dropping the engine, but the engine is raised and the front axle is removed. So, removing the oil pan is the bulk of the job.

I almost asked the dealer for an itemized list of what they were doing, but figured I wouldn't waste my time. But after I clicked "decline" it gave me the option of viewing an estimate and it had all the parts listed. Of course the solenoid and harness are listed as well as oil, filter, 1gal antifreeze...
Then things like oil pan drain plug gasket, this rear main seal? 276-010-00-07 and 007603-014106 which looks like a front seal? No mention of any of these leaking though and car is low miles and shows no leaks. Also had new crossmember bolts, some exhaust clamps and gaskets. I guess they were going to discharge the AC also, had $90 worth of freon and a new refrigerant drier.
LABOR $9,459.39
This dealer is dead to me now. I bought this S new and at least 3-4 others from them.
