manifold

Hi all. Long time reader but never needed to post much until now. My 2004 AXD Shuttle is getting a new turbo and exhaust manifold fitted. Both parts supplied by Darkside. It is the KKK turbo and is being replaced like for like. It is not the R5 engine but a normal AXD. My very reliable garage...

Hi all, Can the exhaust manifold actually be removed leaving the turbo/exhaust in place? All the manifold removal threads I've read involve turbo removal, but no one explains why, unless, of course it's because they are swapping the turbo/replacing the turbo oil gasket as well. I can see the...

Hi All, and Happy New Year Finally managed to get a once over for the van by someone who knows what they are doing.The engine is running is very lumpy and apparently the exhaust manifold is leaking but it is the clamp (and special tool) type , not the bolts . He suggests swapping it out would...

2002 AJT 2.5TDi Caravelle, 300,000 miles on the clock. Recently replaced the exhaust front pipe to manifold seal - an interesting job so thought I'd put some pics up in case it helps anybody. I used the 'wedge' method as described in the Haynes manual, and it worked well for me, almost...

Evening guys - need a spot of advice please if you don't mind. Our 130bhp 2.5 2007 is making a loud popping noise through the outlet manifold. This gets louder when the hose is taken off the egr so that's obviously muffling it a bit. Our regular garage are a bit stumped as she seems to be...

I'm looking to fit a stainless exhaust my T4, which has got me thinking about downpipes and manifolds - as you do:D Engine in mine is 2.5 petrol and AET engine code Correct me if I'm wrong, but the downpipe is different i.e smaller in diameter to the 2.5 diesel one right? I know the flange...

me MAF was badly gunged up. its clean now. question, has anyone ever replaced a MAF without cleaning manifold too? if so, what happened? ta

HI guys, just been looking at my intercooler pipework today as I've just ordered a PD130 inlet manifold and realised that A) The PD manifold faces out in the opposite direction to the one I have now. B) Am I being stupid or is the inlet temp snesor on the wrong side???? I though that the pipe...

-----SOLD----- Kit wasn't selling, so I am splitting these bits up. All taken form a perfectly running ACV engine. N.B. Inter-cooler and Inter-cooler pipework has now sold. Open to offers on most things. ACV Turbo (With oil feed and intake pipes) £150 ACV Exhaust Manifold (would prefer to...

Hey, Got a ticking coming from the engine now. Worse case the manifolds cracked - best case I just need a new gasket. Probably a stupid question, but what is the likely hood of the manifold being cracked anyone, is it a common occurrence on a T4? Should the most costly outcome be a cracked...

Please - Expert knowledge request. I would like to to know if I my bus has the later cast exhaust manifold or the problematic steel type. Is it possible to obtain this information via the VAG systems? Vehicle details: 2008 T5 174bhp Engine code: BPC049645 VIN: WV1ZZZ7HZ8H150560 Information...

Hi I'm a newbie, just bought a 2.5 130 bhp caravelle, with many problems. Just replaced turbo and found out exhaust manifold is split. Have removed to replace with new but found that where the exhaust attaches to the head there are 1-2mm pit marks on the head where the manifold joins. I'm...

Hi, have a wee problem. I've a 98 t4 1.9td, 223000 on clock. Symptoms I'm getting is a rattling under the cab, slight loss in power and engine seems slightly louder. I've narrowed the rattling down to a pipe behind the front drivers side wheel. I also get exhaust fumes on occasion into the cab...
