⚙️ Key Features

🔌 Function

Absorbs the thermal growth and movement of the exhaust run so that the pipework, silencer and turbocharger flange are not strained as the system heats and cools.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Exhaust smell in the engine space and soot streaking around the bellows
• Ticking or puffing from the joint under load
• Bellows convolutions cracked, split or corroded through
• Bellows stretched out or collapsed, showing the run has moved
• Flange bolts loose or the mating faces pulled out of flat

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the exhaust supports and mounts before fitting - a failed compensator usually means something else was making it take the movement
• Renew the flange gaskets and use new fasteners where the manual calls for them
