⚙️ Key Features

• 5.553 kg
• 8 applications across the D series
• Inlet and Exhaust System group
• Takes up exhaust expansion and vibration

🔌 Function

Absorbs thermal expansion and vibration in the exhaust run so movement is not transmitted into the manifold, turbocharger or downstream pipework.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Exhaust noise, ticking or a smell of fumes in the engine space
• Soot staining around the bellows or flanges
• Bellows convolutions cracked, split or corroded through
• Flange bolts loose or studs pulled, from movement the compensator can no longer absorb
• Visible distortion or a bellows that has gone solid with corrosion

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the exhaust gaskets and check the flange studs and nuts, replacing any that are corroded
• Support the exhaust run while the compensator is out so the joint is not pulled out of line
• Check the exhaust hangers and mounts - a failed compensator often follows a broken support
