xxxsingh Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Afternoon all sorry if this may have been answered some place else but I have no Idea what the hoses are for/called so have attached a photo. Over the last few weeks I started smelling some fumes in the car, took it to quick fit as they were round the corner from my office and they said it was the DPF which I thought was BS. The same day all smells stopped so thought nothing of it, till yesterday when I felt the engine loose performance and judder a bit. Had a look under the bonnet today, see attached photo of hose that's corroded and snapped, not sure what it is but any pointers would be great. Also with regards to a DPF is it best to buy a new one or get someone to regen? Any help would be much appreciated also is the hose something that could be replaced without a visit to a garage as looks like the connectors just screw on?

catmand00 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Looks like the dpf pressure sensor hoses to me. They carry pressure from dpf to the sensor by battery to intemperate when it needs a regeneration. You need these replaced as they will be useless and brittle but it's a dead easy repair.
