Post #1
During my engie replacement I have seen that my exhaust manifold has a split in it. Went on Servicebox to see the price of a new one and nearly fell off my sofa. The price is, hold on now......... £635.80.That's going to be a second hand one then haha ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |

It's cracked on one of the exhaust outlets. As you look at the engine its the one on the far right. Would it be a simple fix for somebody who is a good welder? ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |

Will do, loving all these money saving tips people are giving me, my subscription is easily worth this.Whilst your here Welshpug I need a further point of advice. My replacement engine is from a 2001 Xsara VTS and the exhaust manifold is different. So will weld mine up and place it on the "new" engine. Only trouble is one bolt is screwed and I can't get it off. Can't get an angle grinder in, my dremmel isnt powerful enough to saw it off. Any idea how to get it off?????? Cheers ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |

yeh which bolt/stud/nut?usually a good 6 sides 13mm socket does the trick on the manifold nuts, or an Irwin stud+nut extractor socket. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Nut is fu**ed. I have spent all day trying to get it off. Easily accesible with the ratchet sets but the nuts rounded off. Have tried molgrips round it and every spanner/ratchet i've got. Nothing budges it, even after soaking the area with penetrating fluid. Getting angry now________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |

You can pick up second hand exhaust manifolds off eBay for like £40...would you risk welding it when the price of second hand is that cheap?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
