I would do a scrapyard jolly for those if it was me, plenty of them breaking for spares on ebay too.

If you don't mind settling for pattern parts, try Mapco in Germany, they'll probably have what you need as they do steering parts for the pick ups.

I've had parts from them that are of quite good quality and very affordable. Postage is quite high but the service is very good in my experience.

Google: mapco autotechnik gmbh.

Hi guys need to source an exhaust manifold mine is cracked I believe any ideas?

[StevesTruck]

What engine's in it?

[TeflonTom]

The 1.6 exhaust manifolds always crack, normally between cylinder 2 & 3 where it merges, a 1.6 polo with aee engine code is not an identical manifold but it does fit, the only difference being the lower mounting bolt for the heat shield being in a different place.. That is of course if it is a 1.6 you are talking about.

[storm27]

Yeah the 1.6.

I'll have a look at polo parts

Ta

Rainbow fires old fun.

[TeflonTom]

I replace my manifold a few days ago too, quite common for them to crack, if you do get a polo one it must be from a 1.6 because the others have a different exhaust downpipe arrangemnt.

Ok still looking at moment car sounding boy'd up

I recently got some obsolete favorit parts from skoparts_international. They've got a eBay shop with a few bits on there, but i think they can get most things if you give them an email.
