paul w Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Bin having a few probs with the car for a while now,poor idle,stalling when hot,bit of a lack of oomph at times.Now have found the problem,after a wrestle with a few rusty bolts on the heatshield(solved with a big hammer and cold chisle ) Theres a dirty great crack in the manifold! ARSE! Best get on to Mr Burwash for a new one i guess! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 So manis are a common problem on the FTE i take it??? Something to look out for in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah they are mate,a cast one from Roadrunner in OZ is the best way avoid it happening again,but i aint got $700 aus to get one! Stainless steel mani is a common choice but they too can crack! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
