OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — Rear silencer (aftermarket) Bosal 228-177 / MTS 01.61123

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota Auris (E180 2013-2018) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Exhaust part numbers depend on engine, fuel, emissions standard (Euro 5 / Euro 6) and body — the catalogue listings below are aftermarket references for this generation and are not engine-filtered, so confirm the fit by your VIN or engine code before ordering. Walker 'code letter' values (52, 62, 91 etc.) must match the system fitted. Genuine numbers are only shown where a listing quotes one.

A Genuinely Important Point Worth Knowing Before Attempting a Motorway "Regen" — Toyota Auris Exhaust System

If your diesel's engine management light has already illuminated, this is genuinely important to know before spending time and fuel on a hard motorway run: a proper regeneration cycle generally can't occur while the engine management light is on, since it indicates an underlying fault the ECU needs resolved first. Attempting to "drive it out" at this stage is often genuinely futile — the fault causing the light needs diagnosing and fixing before regeneration can succeed.

A genuinely specific, real diagnostic account worth knowing about EGR faults: a documented case involving sudden power loss on a hill, black smoke, and a muffled engine note was traced to carbon buildup restricting the EGR valve's movement. The ECU on these engines commonly monitors EGR valve position indirectly via the airflow meter reading — meaning a fault code referencing the airflow meter can sometimes actually point toward a genuine EGR problem.

It's also worth knowing that a recurring EGR-related fault code that returns despite cleaning points toward the valve needing replacement rather than further cleaning.

Toyota Auris Exhaust System: The Part That Announces Its Own Problems

On the Toyota Auris, this is one of the few parts where your ears will catch a problem before your eyes do — a new rattle, a drone, noise that simply wasn't there a week ago. That's a genuine advantage, since it gives you an early warning most other faults don't offer.

Toyota Auris Exhaust System: What It Does

On the Toyota Auris, burnt gases leave the engine through the exhaust system, which quiets them via the silencer and treats emissions through a catalytic converter and particulate filter before anything exits the tailpipe. Petrol and diesel versions frequently use entirely different systems, since their emissions treatment needs aren't the same.
