Default DPF Error and Limp Mode, sensor pipe seperated

Hi,

After months of frustration with intermittent limp mode issues, and not believing it needs a new DPF (as the car would always be fine from cold, but play up when startign from warm) today I got some pictures from underneath. I’ll try adding photos below. One of the lower flexible hoses from the DPF to the sensor is completely seperated, and I’m sure this will be the issue!

Can any hose be used to replace this, and what size? I intend to fix this tomorrow so could do with getting the hose sometime today. If anyone can help with either a hose size/spec or Volvo part number that would be great.

This is very frustrating that a garage failed to notice this and told me I needed a new DPF at over £500!

Thanks,

Duncan

Image I managed to grab earlier - Would be great if anyone knew what size pipe this is and what I can replace with. I am thinking silicon hose and could be 6mm internal
