[Vwdiesel] Jetta 2001 TDi exhaust leak

[Doyt W. Echelberger]

How about putting a big hose clamp around that flex pipe and using it 
to hold a patch over the pin hole? The patch could be a small length 
of whatever is being used in place of asbestos...like, an inch of 
Fiberfrax rope good to nearly 2000 degrees?
