#1: Manifold fix in situ Gti Author: JG220, Location: At my deskPosted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:25 pm ---- I found a lot of posts on the vibration from these.
Today i dropped the exhaust and welded the manifold whislt in place.
Picture of the access
i arc welded along the joins and a couple of spots to the side.
Doesn't make a sound anymore
Its a 30min job, unless you fall out with the lamba's and the daft connection from the manifold the dowpipe. It took a couple of hours in the end.
Now onto the servo.
#2: Re: Manifold fix in situ Gti Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:42 pm ---- will it be a bit dangerous to do the welding while the manifold is still on the car?

I didn't even bother disconnecting battery.

but anyway it sounds fine to you and i guess it does save a lot of time and work to do it in your way.
