FAQ
How can I ensure the correct fit for this flexible pipe clamp?
The most reliable method is cross-referencing against the original OE number. You should also measure the outside diameter of the flex pipe using calipers to confirm it matches the Ø 151 mm specification.
What should be replaced alongside the flexible pipe clamp?
When replacing clamps or pipes, it is advisable to renew connection gaskets and inspect the condition of exhaust hangers and engine mounts to prevent future leaks.
Why is correct clamping torque important?
Applying torque according to the vehicle manufacturer's service manual prevents over-tightening which can damage components or under-tightening which leads to exhaust leaks.
Can this part be used on other heavy commercial vehicles?
This specific part is listed for Mercedes-Benz; however, different engine emissions levels and layouts may require different specifications even within similar vehicle classes.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
359.01.0003 directly replaces Dinex OE number 51894. It also replaces Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 0009958602, 9429970290.
