ok my exhaust manifold gasket is on the way out and I have been quoted 290 quid to get it fixed :eek: :eek: :eek: I was just wondering if anyone has the part numbers for the gaskets about this area because I might aswell do them all, and also I was thinking of doing them myself, How hard a job is it to do? any help would be appreciated


Regards Marc

Do you happen to have part number for the Gaskets ? That would be great... and It doesnt look that hard.... I imagine take the rad ect out and it would be not too bad to do ? How many hours we talkign if you can guess ????

if you are lazy and are careful you can do the manifold gasket without removing the turbo :wink:

note the word 'CAREFUL'

I did this job a few months ago. You might as well change all the gaskets while ur there. You will also need new copper washers for the oil and water return lines if you are going to take the manifold and turbo off complete :wink:

Oh and be careful not to bend the oil and water pipes as this is easily done and a right ar5e to get them back in the correct position :lol:
