My Om602's #4 injector hard line is broken. I've got a new one on order from Mercedes but its going to be coming from Germany and will take probably at least 2 weeks!

I'd like to get my 300D back on the road sooner than that as my current driver needs some work.

Anyone have an injector hard line that I buy in the mean time?

I have the #4 fuel line send me a PM if you are still looking

When I order parts that come from Germany, then are at the dealer in two days. At no extra cost.

I placed the order from a dealership online, maybe thats something to do with it. They have disclaimers about lead times and such.

Whenever I would place orders from another online dealership place they did take a few days extra, maybe its different for in person customers?

I saw one post on BW about someones new injector line breaking and being made out of thinner walled material.

Lead times may change depending on if the dealer has placed their daily order for that day. Some other brands don't like daily orders and parts end up on a weekly stock order but I haven't run into this lately. Even for brands that only place a weekly stock order, there is usually a next day service available for a fee. Sometimes this fee is a few % or small $ but pays to ask first if parts are shipping UPS / Fed Ex.

For web orders, someone probably has to transcribe the orders into the MB system so there may be an additional delay. Then, someone has to package and ship orders from the dealer.

Oh, as for the line breaking, injector lines need to be properly supported, the can vibrate and flex in normal operation. Lines ( and rubber hydraulic hoses ) want to straighten out with each pressure increase further causing flexing.

Hey, what happened to the current hard line? If it's broken or something, I'd be interested in it...
