Flexi replacement on 2003 Audi A2 tdi
These high quality cars have a one piece exhaust system. My car has the original system still working well after 14 years apart from the weakest point, the flexi, just after the turbo. Unless you want to replace the entire system at an horrendous cost, or, buy another aftermarket front pipe which includes the catalytic converter (I was quoted between £800 and £900 for a complete system and £300-£400 for the front section alone) then this part is very well worth considering. Fitting the flexi is not for the faint hearted, and, I would say that unless you have above average DIY skills, get a garage to fit it for you. The tools I needed for the job were a mini-grinder (usually air powered) but I bought a 240v 3 inch grinder from ebay at just £25. A one-handed hacksaw (a handle that accommodates a full size hacksaw blade but allows you to access small spaces, a large pair of Stilsen grips to allow you to manoeuvre the flexi into place. All things considered I wouldn't want to do this job on a regular basis, but, it has saved me a lot of money. With regard to the part itself. The angles of the pipes were not quite right, which is surprising considering that Audi parts are all the same and very accurate, but you can make it fit if you know what you are doing. Be prepared for some hard work with the hacksaw, because space is very limited and you are working under the car.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Save 100s good quality item
Quoted over £300 for the exhaust system on my audi a2 when it was only the flexi pipe that was rotten, although the a2 is mainly a one piece system. Even the mechanic was impressed by the quality and the saving made when i found this part on ebay. Worth paying a bit more as you get most of the pieces required included and for £25 its cheap anyway.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

FLEX PIPE AUDI A2 TDI
So I have completed the job. straight forwards but you do need to take the exhaust off the back of the turbo. Cut the exhaust first near the CAT but leave enough pipe to slot the repair pipe over what is left. Undo the four bolts and remove the rest of the remaining exhaust from the back of the turbo. Cut the other end of the rot flex off the pipe leaving enough pipe to slot the repair pipe over. I cut it at the turbo end and left the flared flange. I later removed the flared section of weld using an angle grinder. Then tidy up both ends of the existing exhaust pipe with an angle grinder and file. The new flex pipe will need to be also cut and new grooves cut in it. You can the temporarily do a trial run to see if everything matches up and can be installed with relative ease. You can now fit your new exhaust gasket on the back of the turbo. Use exhaust fixing paste to put everything together. I clamped the turbo end flex section up before fitting it to the car. Watch out that you position the clamp so it does not foul the steering rack heat shield. Use some mole grips to clamp the other end of the flex and slide it on to the CAT side. Clamp up put the rubber hangers back on and your done. Congratulations! That took me two half days to complete. I used , Dremel Grinder 5" angle grinder & cutting discs work lamp axle stands socket set wet and dry paper mole grips exhaust paste Exhaust gasket Box to hold the exhaust off the groundVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good value , did the job
The replacement exhaust flex works well , it is a hard part to replace as it’s in a very confined space I used a reciprocating saw but the part fitted okay needs a little bit of fiddling though .Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
