Mind you Merc is the only place you can get the black replacement seal Jeep do not hold it as a spare part but try and get one without a Merc part number thats why most Jeep dealers reseal the old one.
So Merc are no better.

Thats odd, I was led to believe that there where some significant differences between Merc and Jeep. Merc used a flanged aluminium manifold where Jeep use plastic with an O-ring. As such the turbo is mounted differently to Jeeps/Chrysler's.
I own a Merc and have asked my service manager about the problem and he hadn't heard on this issue but know's about Chrysler's.
This engine is in C,E,S,M, vans etc and world wide I haven't read of this problem on Merc forums.
