200TDi exhaust question

[defuzz]

a quick question about my exhaust....

the middle box terminates in a fluted pipe with a loose collar, the back box pipe also ends in a fluted end and a loose collar, I'm having trouble getting them to join with an airtight seal, am I missing something?

I jusy did this after mine fell of this morning.

SHEDLOADS of gun gum and wind the clamp right up :)

not missing an olive in between the joints are we?

[Evilgoat]

Thats the other possibility, or reusing a badly corroded old one. Excessive corrossion on the flutes will have the same effect too.

[defuzz]

i thought it might be an olive but none were provided with either piece and none of the diagrams I've seen have used one.

Just been to halfords and they have rubber "silencer rings", do you think this is desigend to go in the exhaust or is it not an internal part do you think?

It'll melt and turn to goo.

You are looking for a steel 'doughnut' that fits in there. Local Kwik Fit will have em.

[defuzz]

turn to goo? cool, that should seal the two pipes together!!!!


I'll drop into kwik fit and take a look.

[hobbit]

They should be flush fitting, not extras, just line up loosely bolt together, hang on the mounts, line up and tighten evenly

Check that the cup ends are not dented

Exhaust cement wont last long on these type of fittings, they are really for inserted fittings

[defuzz]

maybe I just need to spend a bit more time trying to get it right!!

the exhaust cement bodge is intended to make it sealed for the MOT and then sort it properly later!!!

Looking at the diagram you have posted above, the joints look as if they are thetype that should have olives. Do both pipes flare out at the end? If so I'd say that you do need one.

The other thing to consider is, have you been supplied the right pipes. There seem to be several different exhaust systems for 200tdi discos looking at paddocks site. Might be worth checking that the two pipes are compatible.

I was thinking this too as mine bears no resemblence to that setup, even after taking into account the mods to mine.

called local motor parts place, they recomended one called LR111J whihc seems to be there own code rather than an official code, i got one of those and it has flared ends on the end of the back box and middle box.

local dealer took my chassis number and suggested NTC7119 which is what is in the diagram above and appears identical, the exhaust fits fine around axles and hangers etc, its just the join which seems strange, local dealer has ordered me an olive but for the MOT tomorrow I'll just have a go tonight at getting it right or use a flexible exhaust joiner thingy...

slacken all the bolts of put a thin bead of of gungum or fire cement on the faces and nip everything back up then when it's all in place and hnging correctly tighten everything up fully.
