TB's buggered motor

[TheBoy]

P006A.  DTC snapshot data shows very low boost pressure, suspect a loss of boost pressure.

Sent the DTC snapshot data and some photos to that DTM geezer, and he concurs that one of the intake manifolds has split being the most likely cause.  Cheap, crap, plastic shite that plagues this engine.  Still, to be expected when it was a JV between the yanks and the French

[STEMO]

Plastic, you say? Print one off and do it yourself 

[Doctor Gollum]

You forgot the 'Buy a Mercedes' option

[Sir Tigger KC]

We know you want to. 

[Doctor Gollum]

We know you want to. 

I might even be able to return it when it doesn't work 

[STEMO]

We know you want to. 

That's very reasonable. I would do both sides just to be sure 

[Sir Tigger KC]

We know you want to. 

That's very reasonable. I would do both sides just to be sure 

It probably takes a week just to get at the manifold, but TB likes a challenge!

He can strip it down of an evening instead of binge watching Mama Mia

Fixed

I only added viable options

If I do DIY, have to decide if the genuine part is better quality than pattern.

Genuine part looks to be about £300, including the gasket and bolts.

Britpart pattern looks to be around £130ish.

Won't be buying a Ching Chong special from egay, as it really looks a shit to change, and only want to do it once.

Is it on v6 diesel?

Is it on v6 diesel?

Yup
