What does the double clamp mechanism achieve?

The double clamp mechanism provides a more secure and leak-free connection for the exhaust system.

How do I know if my vehicle's VIN range is compatible?

You will need to compare your vehicle's specific VIN range with the ranges applicable to the 03/1994 to 11/2002 construction period. This information is often found in your vehicle's documentation or can be obtained from a dealer.

What are the OEM part numbers this connector replaces?

This connector is cross-referenced with OEM numbers including 191253141F, 191253141M, 3D0253141C, 811253141, 811253141C, 1036585, and 0009955335.

Troubleshooting

Leak detected after installation

Ensure both clamps are tightened evenly and sufficiently. Check that the pipes are fully inserted into the connector and that the pipe diameter matches the connector's 50mm specification. Verify no obstructions are present on the pipe ends.

Connector does not fit pipes

Double-check the pipe diameter of your vehicle's exhaust system. This connector is for 50mm pipes. Verify your vehicle's compatibility against the provided list of makes, models, construction years, and VIN ranges. The fitting position might also be incorrect for the repair.

Rust or corrosion appearing prematurely

While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, extreme environmental conditions or exposure to harsh chemicals can affect it. Ensure the vehicle is not exposed to unusual corrosive agents. Inspect for any damage to the protective surface layer.

Clamp not securing tightly

Inspect the clamp mechanism for any damage or debris. Ensure the connector and pipe surfaces are clean where the clamp makes contact. If the clamp is damaged, it may need replacement.
