328D N47 F31 Exhaust leak at v-clamp between DPF and turbo
I notice the clamp is leaking, I tighten the bolt a little and it did not help.
If I want to replace the clamp and gasket inside , do I need to remove the DPF? Has anyone done this and can share the experience. I saw the clamp seal is tough, have to align up the flanges properly. I was thinking maybe the DPF need some cleaning too?

I think the clamp is not designed properly. the ends on the clamp bends easily and too flimsy for the job. BMW is learning a lot from China on the material quality and material gauge, but not on the price.
I just replaced the plastic valve cover. The plastic crack easily. Even the new ones stored in the warehouse deteriorate overtime. After I solved the oil burning issue, I noticed the exhaust leak. Both are due to cheap material and light duty design. |
