Exhaust leak at the EGR cooler bellows

Take the clamp off, squeeze the bellows enough to slip the 50mm circle in there, put the clamp back on, done.

Another website trying to sell expensive parts told me that the heat would eat that plate; you need to go thicker. Mine has lasted years!

this is a horrible idea and i literally have seen shitty plugs fail 3 times and take out 2 turbos each. go thicker and dont gamble with it. if that plate deforms at all the manifold will suck it up and shove it through the turbo. you are just lucky and are living on borrowed time!
