Taken together, this OM 460 LA workshop manual gives a technician everything needed to work through the engine from the crankcase and cylinder head down to the fuel system, following the same job-card structure and specification tables used on the workshop floor.

Built for Real Repair Work

Each job card in this Mercedes-Benz OM 460 LA manual lists the exact steps in sequence, calls out the model/engine validity for that procedure (Model 000.001 with Engine 457.960), and cross-references companion pages for related jobs, so a technician is never left guessing which sequence to follow on the cylinder head, crankshaft, camshaft, or injection system.

Every removal and installation procedure carries its associated tightening torques in Newton-metres, and pages throughout the manual list the exact Mercedes-Benz special tool numbers (drifts, installation/removal devices, dial gauges, dial indicator holders) required for the task — for example, checking turbocharger rotor shaft play calls for a specific dial gauge and dial indicator holder, with the axial and radial play tolerances printed directly in the test-values table.
