Title: GTI T Exhaust manifold.
Post by: dickgam on 19 June 2012, 18:26

Hi,

Just been told that my exhaust manifold may have a crack in it, hard to determine as there is so much stuff in the way, is this a common fault. What would be everyone's recommendation? Go with a standard manifold or is there something else that will mate upto the standard system that won't cost the earth? The car has the AUM engine.

Thanks for any comments. :cool:

Someone that knows what they are doing may even be able to weld your one up.

Hi,

I was advised not to weld it up as it may crack again, it someone has to go to the trouble of removing it then I would prefer a new one. I have just looked on fleabay, there is one made from tubes rather than cast, it might be worth a look at.

I should have put a link in.

Thanks.

I would stick with the standard manifold.
