Also, does your CRD seem to have an excessive exhaust smell compared to other diesel vehicles?
Thanks

A. Mine busted out of a sudden while I was on vacation. Went nearby at a local machine shop specialized in high pressure hydraulic hoses for agricaltural and earth moving equipment with the line at hand and they fixed me in no time a duplicate of the busted one at about 40-50euros cost
Although -as said before by others- the bent is not as steep as the original, so it interferes a bit with the intake rubber pipe. Nothing serious to bother though.
B. Got the same problem from day one.
Seems that at certain speed ( 80-90km/h approx) without much load and with the driver's window just a tad open, the cabin tends to smell burnt diesel pretty heavy.
If I close the window the smell stops and the same happens if I change the cruising speed, or accelarate.
I haven't address this problem yet, but I'm thinking the first thing I'll check/change is the rear door rubber seal.
The idea is that if the cabin gets to a certain amount of lower pressure (compared to outside pressure) it'll suck in, the outside air.
And right at the back of the tailgate is the place where vacuum just happens to rise as the vehicle moves towards.
