2009 Clio sport 182 Exhaust manifold replacement

[JimA59]

Hi all,
Any advice about fitting a new exhaust manifold gasket and perhaps down-pipe, if just refitting manifold gasket, can you do it without removing the sub-frame ? thanks in advance

There wasn't a 2009 182! Do you mean a 182 or 197?

How many bolts does each wheel have, 4 or 5?

Hi Vaughan, they are 5 bolts on each wheel,thanks

So it'll be a 197 or 200 then.

Sorry, I've never done one but plenty have. If you search 197 manifold then you should get an answer.

So guys I have a 2009 Clio Sport, it has 5 wheel nuts per weel, how do I know if it is a 197 os 200 bhp (appoligies, this is my daughters car, I am doing the donkey work !!)

different front ends:
197:

200:

are you changing the manifold or just the gasket? I assume the manifold is blowing from the flexi joint so needs a new full manifold (or yours repaired once removed)? its a pig of a job and a common issue.
