Change or repair? What is better?

Many hobby mechanics swear that the best way to eliminate cracks in an exhaust manifold is to weld. Although this may be a proven remedy, the damage usually reappears after a short period of time. Therefore, it is usually much more efficient to decide on a replacement part. In this way a longer duration will be achieved.


How to change the exhaust manifold step by step

Although we would like to support hobby mechanics and provide them with helpful instructions, we advise that you do not replace a faulty exhaust manifold on your own. The exhaust manifold is exposed to very demanding working conditions due to its position. For this reason, problems often arise with screws and bolts. If you proceed here in a dirty and inappropriate manner, the cylinder heads may be affected. So a very cheap repair very often turns into a total breakdown.

Furthermore, disassembling the exhaust manifold largely depends on the model and its construction. Other components, such as the EGR cooler or the turbocharger, must be removed in the same way as the front catalytic converter. Consequently, it increases both the expense and the risk of additional damage, so it is more sensible and useful to carry out the change in a specialized workshop. Especially since costs are kept within reasonable limits. If you make the change yourself you could damage, in the worst case, so many components that a repair would no longer be worth it.


You must count on these expenses

An exhaust manifold as a replacement part is not particularly expensive. The price depends on both the size of the vehicle and the market situation. As a rule, prices range between 100 and 450 euros for a new exhaust manifold and between 2 and 30 euros for new manifold gaskets.

A specialized workshop will carry out this type of work within two hours without problems. This means, an exchange would have an average price of 500 in total. If you want to save money, you can also buy a new exhaust manifold yourself and take it to the shop to have it replaced. This is often cheaper, as in many cases the workshop adds a margin on the spare parts.
