Morning lovley people, My 05 320d Touring failed it MOT on "Front exhaust Major leak of gases", it was suggested that the flexi pipe was the issue (but wasn't fully checked due to the undertray) As I understand it, I can buy a repair section but it has to be welded in which I can't do- but would...

I had a little blow out on my exhaust and I brought it to my local mechanic who has informed me that it was my flexi part of my down pipe, he quoted me £500 to fix it. He said it was because all the dpf and flexi pipe was all one unit. My question is can you not just buy a flexi pipe and cut the...

Hi, Looking for a bit of advice on a recent issue I've had with my 520D. My car started making a loud whistling sound and was clear that there was air blowing from underneath the car which subsequently got louder the higher the revs. I suspected that it was the flexi that might have damage to...

My car is due its MOT this week so in a spate of feeling keen (see rear diff oil change thread) I decided it was time to tackle my damaged flexi joint. Mine is a pre-LCI car so maybe different to the LCI. Anyway the flexi in between the CAT and intermediate pipe before the DPF was in a poor...

I've got that smell of fumes in the cabin when sitting at lights with the fan on, and a funny noise that gets worse when under load around 1500-2000rpm but goes away when lifting off. Sounds like and induction or exhaust noise. I'm pretty sure the two are related and I've just got a blowing...

I think the exhaust flexi pipe is leaking. I'm getting a knocking noise when I turn the engine off and I can sometimes smell fumes in the car. Has anyone had any experience with clamp-on replacement sections like this, as opposed to welding a new section in? It's the 136bhp engine if that makes...

Hi.. Well I've been experiencing a bit of a rattle from under the car poodlin around town (328ci 2000) and some pretty bad vibration on motorway journeys. Not looked underneath yet but I suspect the d/shaft flexidisc is dying pretty rapidly.. I'm pretty average with a socket set and don't mind...

Hi, I am going to replace my front brake flexi hoses as it came up as an advisory on the last MOT. I've read here and on the pelican parts site what to do to replace them, however I cannot find much information regarding the rear brake flexi hoses. Is it the same process as changing the front...

OK so I know there are various ways around this problem of the leaking flexi's However I was looking for a none welded solution and I have found one and successfully fitted a nice new set of flexi's to my motor. It was a difficult job as I only have standard ramps nowadays and I am well into...

Hey Bimmer Forum, Had an indy in Norwich fit in a flexi pipe the other month (VMC - Vulcan Motor Company - unfriendly, expensive and uninterested - do not use them!) to fix a failed predecessor - should have done this myself! - but serious vibration has returned to the exhaust body less than 8...
