The OM602 oil filter housing has a leak.

Hi All! My W124 has an OM602 engine, and it's giving me some trouble. From zero, oil pressure takes around 8 seconds to reach operating temperature. As long as the oil pressure is maintained, the engine may be operated normally. I have hypothesized that the issue is a faulty non return valve in the filter housing. I got fortunate and found a new old stock valve; these are no longer sold by the dealer and I had to replace it along with the spring. The issue has not been resolved, unfortunately. We see no progress. I have no idea where to start looking. There is apparently another valve in the block that maintains lubricating system pressure. Can someone provide a hand with this? Definitely appreciate it. Embedded video demonstrating the issue is below.

Only the cylinder head is different that I'm aware of.In order to access it, however, the cylinder head must be removed. This is a gas-powered motor. In order to facilitate everyone's search, you should have specified diesel. Check this guidebook for answers. Index of the Model 124 Maintenance Guide I knew a man who changed his oil and filter and ran into the same issue...Mann or Mercedes filters only.

The problem may lie in the oil pressure sensor. Assuming, of course, that the problem isn't any unpleasant engine sounds but rather the oil pressure guages' slowness to move off 0 bar on start up. My OM602 engined w201 190d, with over 300,000 miles on the odometer, immediately pins at 3 bar upon start up, and the gauge only records a correct pressure reading after it has reached working temperature. MANN oil filters are the only ones I'll use.
