Cheers, Jas. Really? Why not? What you got now?
I've finished work earlier for quite some time now to cover our service window, so I head to my parents in Yaxley for Tuesday tea earlier, hence I miss you on the A15 now
Anyhow, the garage called and advised that it doesn't seem to be the engine. Phew! There's a possibility it could be the manifold though as there are a lot of exhaust gases coming from under the bonnet - they haven't had chance to strip it back yet though.
I'm assuming the sound I'm hearing is merely the engine combusting through the possible crack in the manifold?
Can it really sound that bad? It seemed to be noisier when cold, which would make sense.
Does anybody have any personal experiences with cracked manifolds/gaskets etc??
What's the best resolution if this is the case? Weld it? New manifold? What sort of costs should I be looking at?
Thanks!
