so, i'm not the only one...

i went through 3 #6 cylinder lines in as many months, no matter what i did to relieve stress or pre-load. benz saw fit to change the original routing of the #6 line on the om603. only after finding a used line of the original configuration did the problem end.

the lines on the toyota units are at least twice the guage of steel, i have yet to hear of one ever breaking. in comparison, the benz lines seem pretty thin and weak.
