Exhaust parts
Posted: 02 Apr 2007, 12:41
Hi,
I'm trying to fix the exhaust on my 1988 1.9 DG Caravelle for the MOT and am having a bit of "fun".
I tracked the initial hole down to a large hole in the cast elbow and also the join between this and the pipe nearest the gearbox that runs from the exhaust manifold to the elbow (front pipe in the haynes manual?) Examining the front pipe I now see that whilst the pipe itself is ok the joins (x3) for the hot air pickup point for the air filter are completely loose.
As JK do not appear to do this part does anyone know anyone that does or is simply a case of putting the joints back together? The air filter pick up joints are not bolt together so how are they fixed together?
Should I just bite the bullet and get a complete new exhaust?
Thanks for your help
