Exhaust Problem :(

Recommended Posts

Oakley

Hey all.. Just been out to paint my backbox and my dad has pointed out that the exhaust as the manifold has rusted and has a small hole in it...

 

This is just what i needed after xmas :)

 

So now i have to fork out for a new one.. Is there any point in getting this welded up or will i just have to buy a newen..

 

And where would you reccomend i get one from?

 

Cheers..

You're doing well to see the manifold on a 205 diesel, they are pretty well hidden at the back of the engine.

 

A hole in a rusty exhaust, who'd have thougth that would happen!!

 

If its rusting through now I'd just get a new one with the two/ three year guarantee, welding it is a waste of time imo.

If it is a diesel, the resonator chamber on the manifold might have rusted through. It is very thin steel compared to the manifold.

 

I don't know if its a separate part though.
