Hi there, hoping someone can advise - the bracket on the back box rear silencer has rusted through leaving the exhaust hanging off (not dragging on the ground)
Took it to my local Citroen dealer and of course it's not a case of just replacing the bracket, the whole silencer needs to be replaced, requiring these parts:
- 0000173631 FRT PIPE SLEEVE - £41.51
- 00001730FA REAR SILENCER - £323.71
- 00001755J4 EXHAUST MOUNTING - £13.32
- 00001755R2 EXHAUST MOUNTING - £12.56
- 00006936C9 NUT WITH BASEx3 - £4.35
Including labour the total cost comes to just shy of £500, so... is there a cheaper way of doing this?
I'm considering purchasing the parts myself, but as a total noob I'm not entirely confident I'm going to end up with the right bits (do the numbers listed above relate to the parts or are they just a code used by the dealer?)
I'm also considering doing the work myself - the main challenge for me will be getting underneath to do the work, but assuming I find a way, is the operation itself fairly straight forward?
Any advice greatly appreciated, going to get a couple more quotes tomorrow.
