Re: Twin front exhaust pipes for v6 petrol
You might need to ring a few of the spares places up to find the V6 front exhaust down pipes, rare!
Yes the V6 needs bleeding same as the diesel, unless vacuum filled of course, having said that you don't hear of many coolant bleeding problems with the V6.

There's exhaust gas leaking from the joint of the pipes before the cat, where the down pipes meet

Re: Twin front exhaust pipes for v6 petrol
We've got them before from our Mazda main dealer, Vospers. We phoned them. The parts were always on 'back order' which meant it took from a few days to a few months to arrive.
Allans garage closed. Try PGS (Plymouth Garage Services) or Mayflower Auto Services Plymouth

It doesn't just need a new gasket ? https://www.lushprojects.com/bongoparts ... no=.html#9tjbrookes2004 wrote: Mon May 12, 2025 1:22 pmThere's exhaust gas leaking from the joint of the pipes before the cat, where the down pipes meet
