Turbo - Manifolds
From VW T25(T3)-Tech
Jump to navigationJump to searchSeems there are a couple of different manifold versions for the JX diesel engine out there. Here are some pics that include those of the heat shields and their fixing
Also worth noting is that these manifolds:
Distort and crack, often the flanges for cyls 1 & 4 'pull-back' from the cylinder head face, come loose and start blowing, and a well known typical crack occurrs in the inside corner of the turbo/manifold mating face. These problems are worth knowing about if you have the manifold or turbo off at any time e.g. surface grind/true up the manifold flange faces, inspect the turbo/manifold faces (gasketless, so both must be pretty flat).
