Ignored manifold problem and have started to have serious acceleration problems (dips and loss of acceleration in high speeds/revs)..
Took the car in again and was told the manifold had acquired to massive holes beneath the exhaust tape.. :O
Anyway, the MK1 hasn't been starting properly, accelerating properly, it's started to run rich, idle is abit low all of a sudden and that blasted manifold!!!!!
