Exhaust centre piece hanger, round not oval
Hi everyone. My garage couldn't source a new hanger for my exhaust, it's for the centre piece, round not oval they said. Parts fitted in the past by exhaust centres seem to be pretty rubbish, I have had my exhaust fall off or down every couple of years with great regularity which is why I am now letting my garage manage the exhaust! I suspect that welding was needed at one stage but the exhaust centres didn't weld they bodged! Cheers!

Cheapest on ebay in the UK:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275915594401 Volvo part number 1332325. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=1332325 A garage is pretty crappy if they can't source a bracket like this.

Cheers Baggy. I suspect they were full on busy and didn't have time to try very hard!

The centre silencer is always round. The rear silencer is oval.
For doing low mileage in a 940 you really need a stainless exhaust, the acids in the exhaust water tend to eat through mild steel OEM exhausts in about 2 years in my case. With higher mileage this get dried out and is much less of a problem. |

Stainless steel
Even with higher mileages (15K miles/year) and running (cleaner) LPG, my carbon steel exhausts tended to last 3 or 4 years. Apperantly the nowadays material quality is worse than it used to be.
I have invested in a SS exhaust last year. Double the price, but in the end cheaper (I hope)... |
