V50 Engine 2.0D : - Exhaust Leak

RestlessDiesel · Mar 2nd, 2019, 19:24

Hello,
I've had long standing but intermitent issues with my 2010 V50 2.0d throwing up a fault code for the DPF differential pressure sensor. It's had a couple of mechanics scratching their heads and one disgusted at some previous bodge work. However I think I have just about cracked it, as the problem has got worse.

There seems to be a leak of exhaust gases around the turbo, which according to my current theory is messing up the exhaust pressure.

This afternoon I tightened up some of the hose clips and a large 16mm nut on what looks like a bracket coming off the turbo housing, and it gave me a temporary improvement.

I will investigate further tomorrow, replace some of the hose clips etc, but as I guess you know access is pretty difficult round here. So what I was wondering was if anyone has had similar issues, can point to any particular parts which are prone to leaking or even has a diagram of what is behind there.

Thanks in advance
