Thanks for the tip. I could get a new one. Didn't know about the getting hot, but it's bracket actually clips to the side housing of the fuel filter so it would actually sit directly above. Getting a bit fed up with this car. Like I said, I'm the 3 years we've owned it, we've done EGR valve, engine vacuum pump, turbo actuator, brake calipers, and now they are suggesting the turbo and DPF. They are saying anything from £1500-3000. I really don't have the stomach for that but I've got a reconditioned turbo sitting on the shelf and unsure whether to start the job(s) or bail out. Annoying thing is the dealer said that the overall car is in good condition. It's done 140k.

Thanks Pete, so it doesn't actually 'need' to be connected to anything? There is actually signs of a hose clip having been crimped around it at some point in its life, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find a place where it would attach to. It's not a car I know well at all, having been maintained by a garage for my wife, who owns it. Begs the question, what is the point in it on this model.

Incidentally the dealership also did the EGR valve in the last 12 months at around £1200.

Hi, can anyone tell me what the left hose (shown here) on the exhaust pressure sensor, should be attached to. I've been having all sorts of problems with my 2011 1.2 tdi greenline. Namely engine fault light, followed by the DPF light on. I've also pulled fault codes today. P2453 P2463 As an aside the dealership has told me that I need to fit a new turbocharger and that the DPF may need also changing. Any help would be great. Paul
