Exhaust Vauxhall Antara (2006-2015)

The Vauxhall Antara, especially diesel models with 2.0 CDTI engines from 2006-2016, has a wide selection of exhaust parts available. These include mounting kits, exhaust pipes, silencers, plugs, pipes, and complete exhaust lines. Options include standard replacement parts and stainless steel performance options.

Popular mounting kits for the Antara 2.0 CDTI 170 CV include complete kits with high-quality self-locking nuts (M8x1.25), gaskets, and lubricants. Some well-known ref kits are AJUSA JTC12205 with a price around £30. Fixing nuts such as TOPRAN and FA1 in similar specs are also commonly used for secure fitting.

Yes, rear silencers (also called backboxes) are available specifically for the Antara 2.0 CDTI, including both original type replacements and approved stainless steel options. Examples include:

• Standard length silencers for 127 CV models
• Universal/sport silencers for 150 CV 4x4 models from 2006-2011
• Performance stainless steel duplex silencers with twin 80 mm outlets

These silencers are designed to fit precisely and retain factory-approved noise and emission standards.

Performance exhaust parts such as stainless steel twin-exit silencers are available for standard Antara models. These are fully homologated and offer durable quality steel construction with stylish twin tailpipe designs. They improve exhaust gas flow which can increase power slightly while maintaining low exhaust noise levels.

• Options include duplex silencers with 80 mm outlets and 55 mm diameter pipe lines
• High-quality stainless steel ensures resistance to corrosion and long lifespan

For genuine power and quality, always confirm part compatibility by engine code and year model.

Exhaust pipes and components such as specific rear pipes are available, for example the AR0229 pipe for the 2.0 CDTI engine (Z20DMH). These parts support proper exhaust flow and fitment ensuring no leaks or power losses.

• Pipes are generally matched to engine and year to ensure full compatibility
• High-quality steel materials are used to resist corrosion and withstand temperature changes

Quick delivery options exist to replace worn components and maintain exhaust system integrity.

Common issues include:

• Exhaust flaps malfunction leading to louder noise and engine errors
• Presence of exhaust smoke with various colours (white, blue, black) indicating potential engine oil, fuel, or temperature issues
• Rust and corrosion on exhaust pipes and silencers over time, especially in older models or those in wet climates

Regular checks for leaks, performance drops, or smoke changes help you identify problems early. Specialist diagnostic tools or expert mechanics may be needed to troubleshoot complex issues.

Exhaust smoke colour can reveal engine condition:

• White smoke: Often caused by cold start emissions or coolant leaks indicating possible head gasket issues
• Blue smoke: Burning engine oil due to worn seals or turbocharger faults
• Black smoke: Excess fuel in the combustion chamber or clogged air filters affecting engine efficiency

Addressing exhaust smoke problems early can prevent more serious engine damage and power loss.

For specialist exhaust parts, quality replacements, and expert technical support for your Vauxhall Antara, rely on trusted suppliers offering:

• Original and high-quality stainless steel exhaust components
• Parts guaranteed to fit by engine model and year
