OM613 vs OM648
This may have been covered elsewhere, so apologies if that's the case.
What is the better engine of these two?
As I understand it, the only difference is the injectors, and from various things I've seen on YouTube, the injectors are a weak point on the OM648, so the OM613 is the better engine.
Is that a fair comment?

The question you asked cant be answered technologically,without an abundance of facts which you wont find in most forums. Now if you are looking for off the cuff HS responses, I would choose the 648

If I can't find an "abundance of facts" then what exactly is the purpose of the forum? An international forum on Mercs, with members from all over the world, seems to be me the very place that I could get a question like this answered. I've heard whispers here and there that the injectors on the 613 are a better setup than those on the 648, but can't pin anything down. I've seen 3 or 4 YT clips about an injector problem on these, but on none of them do they say what the engine is. But in each case it's a 2006 E Class, so I assume it's the 648 (pretty sure the plastic covers are different). That's why I asked the question.
