DPF flex pipe damaged :(

[1083 Feedbacks]

Hi people.

I am breaking my bmw 1 series as it didn't sell for a while with it sitting on my drive and thought it'd be a good way to recoup what i've lost on it.

I've just removed the DPF and although it was working fine, the flex pipe seems to have come apart from the pipe.

Obviously this part is quite expensive, how do i go about fixing this as cheap as possible? The flex end that attaches to the side where the dpf is seems to be crimped on and doesn't look to be enough room to just cut if off and put a new flex piping over it.

Repair yes probably.

Flex pipe replace.. definitely possible as they;re sold for £30. Problem is, I don;t know how to do the job,.

JUst found out, with it working its worth £180. Or one guy offered to buy it for £130. May as well just sell it as is.
