I find that on the older 4 cyl dissels, if I don't use a bandaid, the
new pipe breaks anyway. So, when crockauto replaced the new middle
pipe for the 240D, THIS time, I cut it off and put a bandaid between it
and the front pipe. This will absorb a lot of the vibration and make
the second new one last more than 1000 miles.
If the 240D had a piece of flex in the front pipe like the OM603 300D, I
would not need the bandaid.
The 124 and 126 are the only ones I have had that DID NOT need a bandaid.

I've never had those work very well or for long. The goop just makes it
harder to fix correctly (new metal, welding) later. Do it right the first
time and you'll have no regrets
