flexi

Hi all Recent nct failure on 06 520d msport m47 engine due to exhaust leak. It's the flexi pipe situated roughly under driver seat has totally separated. Can anyone advise on how to fix this I'm told theres kits on Ebay with pipe and brackets. Has anyone any experience with fixing this...

As above mine suffering the common fault of breaking apart, seen repair kits that get welded on to DPF what’s people’s experience of these do they last or is it better just going for replacement DPF?

We have a blow out on the flexi on our 118D edition N47 can i remove the cat from the turbo to replace the flexi. I do have some mechanical experience although it will be done on the drive under a tarp. ?

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...

hi do you have these part 26122282495 & 26112226527? regards Mel

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 have a 2005 e60 530d and I've got an oil leak dripping from where the flexi pipe is and a strong smell of oil in the cabin. Need it diagnosed by a decent priced indy in Dunstable. Does anyone know one? Thanks Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App

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...

Can some one advise wheres the best place in cheshire to have my front flexi exhgust hose replaced cheers

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...

Well I have entered the world of the E61, a lovely 530d late 2004 plate with 160,000 miles on clock. The car has a phenomenal service history - main dealer until 130,000 miles then 2 private garage services since - Been trying to rectify a few little problems that i have encountered, I have...

Hi everyone, Today I replaced the flexi on my exhaust just after the catalytic converter. I had the car jacked up high on one side for the job as I had no access to a ramp, I replaced the exhaust flexi but after starting the car idrive showed up lots of faults Transmission fault ABS/Braking...

Hi guys, I recently took the car in for its service and I did notice before they mentioned a slightly different tone from the exhaust. The garage told me underneath the drivers foot well is 2 sort of clips that have gone, i'm not quite sure to the extend what these 2 clips do, but he mentioned...
