It is both the OM612, and the newer OM647 ('04 to '06 ?) - both of which are in-line 5 cylinders.Turtle, is this the OM612 engine only or is it other MBEs?
AFAIK, there have been no reported instances of it on the OM642 (the V-6 in '07 and later Sprinters) .... although they may be prone to it as well, as I believe the injector seal design is similar (not absolutely positive tho' ....)
The guy in Pittsburgh name is Andy Bittenbinder and his number is 412-366-6165
And, I believe that the premise that this phenomena only occurs on this side of the pond is incorrect - if I am not mistaken, the first picture that aileron posted is of MIG's (Mean In Green) OM612 engine ..... he's in Leicester, England .......
