Exhaust leak - VW Passat

blue-army

Hi lads,

I drive a 07 Passat, 1.6L petrol. I've been told by my local garage that there's a leak in my exhaust, which will require a new piece costing ~40e.

The garage has only able to source the Diesel version of this part from their supplier.

They've told me they can source the whole exhaust piece for 190e, but that I would be much better off sourcing the specific piece myself "from ebay or somewhere" and bringing it into them.

The problem is I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for.

I've been told that it's "not the center pipe. It's the middle pipe with center box. The piece before the backbox"



Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a million.

Go elsewhere and get a second opinion, if an exhaust fitter is asking you to source a piece yourself...

I'd agree with the above. If they can't source a middle box for a Passat, they aren't trying. Yet, they know the price, they must have a decent crystal ball..

I think you need genuine part 3C0253409L, Bosal part 233-157.
