Exhaust hose for Aixam : Comfort and protection of the line

The exhaust is an indispensable element on a Aixam. This part can absorb motor vibrations, protect the collector and the silencer and maintain a stable exhaust line. A flexible in good condition guarantees optimal driving comfort, avoids cracks on the tubes and ensures good gas sealing.

Role of the exhaust hose on Aixam

On a AixamThe engine moves slightly on its supports when accelerating and braking. The exhaust hose absorbs these movements to prevent tubes and silencers from being subject to too much constraints.

Vibration absorption

• Reduction of noise and resonances under the floor.
• Collector protection and fasteners against cracks.
• Improved driving comfort and reduction of parasitic noises.
• Prevention of premature wear of necklaces and exhaust media.

Compensation of motor movements

The hose acts as a mechanical damper: it compensates for motor movements to avoid excessive stresses on the rest of the exhaust line. Thus, the durability of the silencer and the collector is improved.

Characteristics of a good exhaust hose

To ensure the reliability of your AixamIt is important to choose a suitable flexible in terms of length, diameter and braiding quality.

Stainless steel braid

The outer casing is composed of a resistant metal braid, capable of collecting the vibrations and protect the inner tube against projections and shocks.

Corrugated inner tube

The inner tube, often made of corrugated steel, ensures the tightness and resists high temperatures while remaining flexible. It is he who allows the absorption of the movements without compromising the flow of the gases.

Reinforced ends

Welding rings or fixing sleeves are integrated for solid and durable mounting. Correct tightening with exhaust clamps ensures sealing.

Signs of wear of a hose

Over time, a hose can deteriorate due to corrosion, shocks or normal wear.

Hearing symptoms

• Breathing noise under the car.
• Increased engine noise at acceleration.
• Blancings or crackling related to a damaged braid.

Visual symptoms

• Failored outer braid or coupéemail.
• Visible gas leaks at the junctions.
• Traces of soot around the hose.
• Abnormal displacement of the exhaust line.

Consequences of a damaged hose

Do not replace a defective hose can cause costly repairs and affect comfort.

Mechanical risks

• Crack of the collector or tubes.
• Break of necklaces and supports.
• misalignment of the large line and vibration.
• Loss of counter-Engine pressure and torque loss.

Security risks

• exhaust gas leaks under the floor.
• Significant noise nuisance.
• Risk of cons-Turning to technical control for sealing defect.

Maintenance and replacement

Regularly check the condition of the hose avoids significant failures and costs.

Recommended controls

• Visual inspection during regular interviews.
• Verification of the condition of necklaces and silent blocks.
• Check the absence of gas leak around the braid.
• Observation of the general alignment of the exhaust line.

Mounting a new hose

• Cool the line before any intervention.
• Disassemble the necklaces and remove the worn part.
• Install the new hose while ensuring alignment.
• Tighten the necklaces gradually to guarantee the tightness.
• Check that there is no contact with the chassis or other parts.
