T-Class/Citan Mercedes citan 111 DPF bracket keeps breaking

[Steven Green]

Hi I'm hoping there is someone clever out there that can solve the problem of the DPF Bracket breaking its happened 4 times now the last 2 ,3 weeks apart each time being replaced with genuine parts thankfully under warranty but I'm still losing time and money sorting it out .
It's only the end of the bracket that breaks off where it reduces to approximately 10mm.
I had considered putting a line of weld to the underside at the point of break to reinforce ,would appreciate anybody's comments or suggestions

It's quite easy. You use the "Upload a File" button which is located next to the "Post Reply" button. This will open a file explorer window, in which you will find the photo, where it is saved on your computer.

Or you can e-mail me the photographs and I'll post them for you.
