Been for MOT which I passed but was advised that I have a cracked manifold is this a problem for me , whats my driving limitations , engine light not coming on so does that indicate that I have no fuel or emission problems just after some advice as I have a "lead" foot

 

you would prob find the turbo doesnt spool as well as the gasses will be leaking out. where it blows from, does it blow into anything that could get damanged, wiring loom etc?

 

It will cause loss of power the worse it gets your probably best getting a new (decent) replacement manifold, buying cheap normally means bad quality and those ones have a nasty tendency to split

Im not sure the guy at the garage didnt seem to think it was a major problem said i could carry on driving till i get it sorted and he knows how i drive - just hearing mixed opinions know just dont wanna do any more damage really

 

thanks tony

 

Have a chat with Harvey on here

Tony

(by the way its zeuss the cusco scooby been ures a cpl times - new user id now on here using own instead of hubbys)

 

Will be the "headers", dont think I have ever heard of an inlet manifold cracking

Tony

 

you wont damage anything other then the headers youv already damaged.. the crack will just get bigger over time and your car will feel laggy. so yes you can drive it for a little while till you get it sorted but dont leave it too long as when it cracks big time it will become really loud and not in a good way.

 

no problem it's free to a good home, no use to me anymore.
