Not so much a question but an observation/issue that I haven’t seen anybody else on here have with their OM642 engine.
While poking around my engine looking for leaks (vacuum and otherwise) I noticed that the mount of the intercooler pipe is cracked.
I am assuming that this is a crack in the weld on the exterior of the pipe and not an actual vacuum leak (???) but probably does need to be replaced ASAP before it gives way. I can see from pics from a few months ago, this crack wasn’t there then.
There are some really cheap second hand ones on eBay but will see how much a new pipe is from MB tomorrow morning…
Only recently did the seals on this… can’t wait to do it all again…!
