Title: Blowing exhaust?!!!
Post by: markallen on 31 March 2013, 14:56

Ok so I've tried and tried with my exhaust blow. First off new gasket and exhaust paste...no joy. Then two gaskets and more paste....no joy again. Then yesterday sorted a standard down pipe with cat to see if it was my exhaust flange that was badly warped still the same and today bought some instant gasket and hey presto...yet again still the same. So I'm thinking it could be the manifold gasket on the turbo side. Is this an easy job to do or would it need a garage to sort it? All the turbo pipes seem fine so before the turbo gets replaced I'm going to try the gasket!

Probably a crack in the turbo or exhaust
Easy solution
.....as exhaust system and uprated turbo  :grin:
