Evening,
Owned an ep3 for a couple of months now and loving life! For a few weeks now though, the exhaust has been blowing under load. It's still under warranty but they seem fairly useless, they've replaced the b pipe which was nice but it hasn't fixed it and every time it goes back they just re-seal it (helpful). So being fed up the other day, got my head in the engine bay looking at the manifold (where I reckon the noise is coming from), I can't see any cracks from above or below, but I've noticed soot around the joint between the manifold and downpipe. The spring bolts are pretty rusted and generally shot, was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with them and if it was a simple as knocking them out and replacing them and how much the stealers would charge or if this is a sign of new manifold time?
Any help much appreciated, did try searching but couldn't find anything.
Cheers
Ben
