## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Late type
-   Supersedes 3836221
-   1.41 kg
-   16 D series applications

## 🔌 Function

Routes air or exhaust gas between two components as a rigid formed tube, keeping the run clear of the surrounding installation.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Sooty or oily streaking at a joint, showing gas is escaping
-   Cracks at the welds or at a bend
-   Loss of boost or a change in exhaust note
-   Flange faces distorted so a new gasket still will not seal
-   Rust scaling or a chafed patch where the tube touches a bracket

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This is the late version — check that the mating parts on your engine match the late arrangement before fitting, as the earlier 3836221 build was dimensioned differently
-   Fit new gaskets and clamps at both ends and check the flange faces are flat
