Hi,
Our Daughter's car (the dolphin grey TDI) has a small leak on the flexi pipe. MEGA expensive, around £300 to replace it because they say you have to replace the cat as well at the same time.
So I had a quick look on eBay and found what I thought was a possible solution. The fact that it was just £25 meant that it was worth a try.
Using the old "if it is too good to be true, it isn't" approach, I didn't hold out much hope. Unfortunately I was right. The mechanic just rang to say that it won't fit, the existing steel pipe is basically a 90 degree bend and therefore this repair section simply won't fit, he informed me.
Anyone tried this type of repair?
This is the part I bought (it stated that it was for the tdi and would fit
