Product Overview

The vacuum pump, OEM number A6462300165, is the brake servo vacuum pump fitted across an unusually wide range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles with the OM642 and OM646 diesel engines, including the E-Class (E320, E350 Bluetec), GL-Class (GL320, GL350), ML-Class (ML320, ML350 Bluetec 4M), R-Class (R320, R350 Bluetec 4M), S-Class (S350), C-Class (C200 CDI, C220 CDI), CLK, and the Sprinter, Vito, and Viano, spanning model years 2006-2018. Since this pump covers such an enormous range of Mercedes sedans, SUVs, and commercial vans, it's a genuinely high-turnover part for anyone stocking Mercedes diesel service items.

Worn or failing units typically show up as a harder or firmer brake pedal feel, increased stopping distance, or a hissing noise from the engine bay linked to a vacuum leak. GSK Auto manufactures this vacuum pump to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - this pump spans two engine families (OM642 and OM646) across an unusually wide range of Mercedes sedans, SUVs, and commercial vans, so it's worth double-checking the exact model, engine, and production year before ordering at volume.)

What Is a Brake Vacuum Pump?

Function: The brake vacuum pump generates the vacuum needed to power the brake booster, which amplifies the force applied to the brake pedal, making it easier for the driver to brake effectively.

Working Principle: Driven mechanically off the camshaft, the pump creates a vacuum that's supplied to the brake booster and other vacuum-operated systems, maintaining consistent vacuum pressure even under varying engine loads, which is especially important on diesel engines that don't naturally generate strong intake vacuum like gasoline engines do.

Importance: On diesel engines like the OM642 and OM646, the engine itself doesn't produce sufficient vacuum for brake assist, so this pump is essential for maintaining safe, responsive braking, and a failing pump directly increases the effort needed to brake the vehicle.

Common Failures & Signs: Internal seal wear causing oil leaks and reduced vacuum output over time. Harder or firmer brake pedal feel requiring more effort to stop the vehicle. Increased stopping distance due to reduced brake assist. Hissing noise from the engine bay linked to a vacuum leak at the pump or its connections.
