- After a week of waiting, we finally managed to secure the only inlet manifold in the country, and it wasn’t off the shelf, but offered up by a company more than 1000kms away. We installed it, only to develop a misfire due to a leaky injector, so after a short break in the week due to a public holiday, we were able to get an injector service kit and finish the job.
These cracks can be fixed in place , use a smoke machine to identify crack , use a tapered grinder to create a grove through the crack length then fill with JB weld . Danke
Interesting, I’ve read that before but haven’t seen any results, short or long lasting. It would be nice to get a review of a repaired manifold.
I am guessing the injectors needed to removed. I have the exact same problem today. I used soapy washing up liquid to confirm the plastic inlet was cracked. I may give the epoxy method a go first with some foil duct tape to hold it in place whilst it cures. How much did it cost for the parts please and where from?
Looks like a 'kak' job to do, so well done. And there I was thinking D2 V8 coil packs were the worse to get out/in ...
I just do a body of sometimes less stressful but nice video
It's a painful job
You can say that again, even if you lift the body.
Like most modern cars the manufacturer is 💯 only interested in building a complete new car.
(Mad throw away society)
If you are repairing a Land-rover/ Jaguar engine with this problem
You can successfully repair the manifolds using (💯 best) JB Weld
Don’t laugh, i know someone who did this no only for the new manifold crack 30k down the road.
He said F- - - that is such a 💩job I just can’t do it again. He smoke tested ID cracked area JB Welded it looks 💩 so much JB Weld But it’s done 73 K since repair 👍
I am worried though his cars. Motorcycle & house is JB Welded together 🤣
