Manifold and branch replacement.

Kleiduif · Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:54 pm

Hi guys.

I'm new to the forum, recently bought a Gen3 2000 3.5 V6 5-door GLS

and now sorting out small hassles.

Took it to SupaQuick today to have the battery changed and they told me I'll have to replace the exhaurst branches and eventually the manifold as well. (I assume they're talking about the outlet manifold)

I'm not very good at mechanics, what should I do - get 2nd opinion or where do I start fixing this problem. (they quoted me about R 20k to replace the branches and manifold)

The car only has 88000km on clock, but did a lot of city (traffic) driving in Joburg. I suspect this is wear and tear?

Any advice will be highly appreciated - thanks!

Hi
Please read my input on a similar exercise, entered today on the topic "what have you done to your Pajero lately".

I know I have the Gen2.5, 3.5 V6, probably without original catalytic converter (as your's probably has), but I really had a positive experience at SAC, CT. Enquire with Ben, as an alternative option, to your queries.
