200tdi exhaust

[Bumpyride]

gents

200tdi 110 as the exhaust comes down from the engine block about 300 mm in the vertical direction there is a bracket (welded) on the down pipe, which appears to be at the same level at a tapped boss on the engine block - i presume these are suppose to attach to each other to reduce the vibration in the downpipe. Only problem is that it appears to require an intermediate bracket to joint the exhaust bracket and the boss on the engine - is this true?

Also anybodt have any idea of the thread on the engine block?

anybody has a copy of the parts for this section and illustration it would be much appreciated - or a phot for that matter.

sorry if this is a bit hard to understand]

many thanks

I suppose I should fit 1 to my truck as well . Exhaust seems to slip at the top. So I would hope that the bracket would cure that

[Guest diesel_jim]

Yeah, it does help Mark.

on my 200 I used to have, the bracket bit cracked through and the pipe kept slipping down off the turbo flange.

(and getting those small allen head bolts in was a royal PITA. I cut down an allen key in the end so it was only about 10~12mm deep, and that worked a treat, just took ages to wind the screw in though.)

thanks very much lads perfect A*

Hmm, maybe that's why the dowpipe seems to be slipping off on mine....there's quite a worrying gap between the turbo and the top of the downpipe

Need to look into this bracket stuff methinks

haven't got that extended bracket on my 200Tdi, just the downpipe bolted direct to the block.

On mine the gap between the exhaust and the block is about an inch or so. Will be ordering the bracket in the week
