Hey guys as title says I have one of these with the chocolate gearbox and plastic manifold, anyway, took it in for a service yesterday and the report came back and said inlet manifold blowing past swirl flaps would require new manifold, I know this isn't a cheap job, but basically my query is this:-
The car has 43,888 on the clock, I took possession of the vehicle at 37,660, put a blanking plate in at 40,000 and the gearbox died at 41,000
so having had that replaced along with the clutch and DMF, vx are now saying new manifold, surely though the blanking plate is gonna stop more rubbish gettin in? As the only damage that could be caused is by the stuff already in there....
Checked swirl bar etc and it just needs a good clean, they all move in the correct direction all at the same time, I've had a friend look too, he had his manifold done about a month ago.
So yeah, any ideas on where to go from here?
