diesel injector lines
Hi, I have 300d 1987, and I noticed one line (do not know how to count cylinder number) injector closest to the driver is leaking a little.
I have problem to find a new one. Is trere a possibility the flair to be repaired. Thank you. I have 2 300d 1987 and was quite satisfied with them. My 95 300 d gives me too many problems, but 87 ones is hard to find any more. Zlatko Denk |

How about a line from a junkyard?

Zlatko,
Welcome to the forum. If the line is leaking, chances are that it has cracked near the fitting. You could go to a diesel specialist & they may be able to make a new one. The usual reason they fail is that the black rubber parts of the clamps fail allowing vibration. Best you fix them at the same time. Good Luck with your cars

My 87 124 broke the last injector (#6) right at the injector nut. I bought a new one online (for about $45 shipped, a junkyard would have been cheaper). That one broke a week later. Upon closer inspection, which I should have done first, I found that the anti-vibration clip was not holding it properly allowing it to vibrate. So, like layback said be sure they work. As an added precaution I strung a zip tie to the adjoining line. I don't know if it added anything but it worked till I sold the car. HTH
