Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Came home from work on Friday and the car was sounding like a tractor. Saturday morning was spent under the car. There were no nuts on the studs from the CATs to the mufflers. They had all turned to dust. I amaged to find some washers M8 nuts and spring washer to replace the 6 off required. But the rest look similar. But the scariest sight was the exhaust manifolds, especially around the bolt heads and bolts themselves. I daren't touch them incase they too turn to dust. It seems to me one of those jobs that a garage rather than me should do. Is there a large chance that one or more of the manifold bolts will snap off in the head? Would you expect the manifolds to be completely 'gone' on a 52 plate car? Any chance of finding a standard normal pair of manifolds that are not rated at 110db etc. I'd probably look for second hand ones that someone has upgraded. Oops, I'm rambling. Dave Advice please

POST 3Original post

Yes, it is very likely one or more will snap - it is a very common issue. I doubt the manifolds themselves are gone. They probably look a lot worse than they actually are.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
