2009 Volvo D16 flex pipe issue

Ahhh the evil million dollar flex pipe

If you loosen all clamps from the turbo back you should be able to rotate everything as needed so it slips out.

Those are a pain in the ###. Its always a lot of trial and error getting the correct fitment whenever I have to change mine out. Bloody knuckles and goose eggs on the noggin. Eventually it'll go!

Also, some Volvo dealers will sell an aftermarket kit for that pipe that includes new clamps and gaskets, at a fraction of the price of OEM pipe alone.

 

That connection point should never touch the frame. You most likely will need to replace both pipes in between dpf filter housing and turbo diffuser pipe (solid steel pipe after the turbo 7th injector mounts on it). That pipe right after 7 injector doesn’t look oem it also has insulation inside of it when it cracks it will plug up your doc filter.

 

What year is the truck??

 

If the parts are oem on the truck currently I would check engine mount, might broken. I had similar problem on d12.
