Title: TD Inlet manifold
Post by: PC Techy on 08 July 2010, 23:14:29

Decided to tackle the blowing inlet manifold tonight.  On closer inspection it looked like a previous owner had been there before. One manifold bracket missing,the other only had one bolt in it. Once the manifold was off, all 6 gaskets were missing.  Manifold was pretty clean inside just a slight misting of oil. One thing I noticed was a bolt where the Air temp sensor should be in the bottom of the manifold, should a 96 td have one ? . I can't find any spare plugs/cables for one.

if yours has a MAF then no it won't have the sensor
a new set of inlet gaskets will set you back £30-£40
Just make sure you bolt it all up.Any air escaping will effect performance :y

As said, only U25 have the air temp sensor.  X25 does not need it due to MAF essentially combining the role in what it does.

Thats good news, after finding the gaskets missing had visions of previous owner doing a vanishing act on the sensor.  All done now anyway, no more oil mist blowing out of number 1.
