When this service may help
- Loud exhaust blow
- Pipe or silencer hanging loose
- Fumes entering cab or body
- Heat damage or aftertreatment leak
Fumes are a safety issue
Do not idle in an enclosed area or continue if fumes enter occupied space. Move only if it is safe and authorised.
Aftertreatment is part of the system
Leaks and temperature issues around DPF and SCR equipment may need diagnostics as well as fabrication. Defeat or removal is not an acceptable repair.
Frequently asked questions
Can a broken exhaust be welded roadside?
Sometimes, but access, material, hot-work safety and proximity to fuel or loads determine what is possible.
Is an exhaust leak an MOT defect?
Commercial-vehicle inspection rules are specific. Obtain a competent repair and inspection rather than relying on a general web answer.
