Polo 1.4 2000 Cracked manifold

Francob

Hello,

Not sure exactly what the manifold is but my garage advise me that the manifold is cracked and will have to be replaced. They are currently organising a quote. Anyone know a ball park figure i am likey to be charged for a replacement manifold ?

Your car has two manifolds - one for intake and one for exhaust. They are, essentially, the ducts that divide the single intake air pipe into four separate pipes - one for each cylinder, and then converge the four separate cylinder exhausts in to one exhaust pipe.

A cracked manifold is unusual. The most common cause of a cracked manifold (especially exhaust) is overtightening on reassembly after a job such as a cylinder head gasket replacement.

I'd be interested to know which manifold is cracked, what the symptoms were, and whether or not you had any recent work done to the engine.
