Exhaust Manifold Studs
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:24 pm
I've recently had a loud squealing sound when accelerating.
First thought was alternator/ air con belts but changed these and the squeal was still there.
My local mechanic has diagnosed the problem with snapped exhaust manifold stud.
I usually source the parts and he requires exhaust manifold gasket, turbo to exhaust gasket and manifold to turbo gasket.
The first two i've found ok but struggling with the manifold to turbo one.
Also he wants to replace all the exhaust manifold studs with a train of thought 'that might as well do them all with the manifold off' which i tend to agree with.
Having trouble sourcing the manifold studs also, so does anyone have any suggestions as to where i might be able to get them along with the aforementioned gasket?
Any help gratefully received!!!
