One of the connections between the exhaust downpipe
and DPF filter
is leaking (I guess the gasket may be the problem).
Recently the leak got a little bit more obvious, I can hear it when reving the engine after around 1700RPM
(I guess that's the point where turbos are kicking in).
I also noticed that the fuel consumption got worse, from around 7l/100km
to 9l/100km
(33.6MPG
to 26.1MPG
)
- Could the exhaust leak be causing this rise in fuel consumption?
- Can I damage other system while running with this leak?
