Makes me glad I have older, simpler cars.

This of the engine bay of my ML. Lots of stuff. Things that need to be
removed to get at the buried oil cooler.
1) left and right air filters
2) engine bay shielding
3) intake plenum with mass flow sensors
4) tube from turbo to intercooler
5) air intake mixing chamber assembly
6) fuel filter
7) fuel interconnection tube
8) turbo
9) Turbo rizer
10) EGR flap servo
11) Right intake manifold
12) left intake manifold ( I was thinking of trying to leave it alone, but
it may need to be cleaned as well )
With all that the oil cooler should be accessible?
Not sure if I missed anything. I am just on step 8 currently, I have one
more screw to remove.

My $500 99E300 had a completely buggered up intake manifold and jammed
EGR, ran like sh*t. An afternoon of cleaning got it running great. Was
a fairly easy job on that car though.

More an effect of emissions controls. In particular EGR. EGR reduces NOX
emissions in diesels, but it makes a mess of the intake manifold. In
manifolds with movable flaps, things get "interesting".
