Will a 197 manifold fit the 182? as one of the flexis is blowing and can only find a 197 fanimould on ebay

They wont unfortunatly, they are too big. Youd also need a custom exhaust to match to it.

 

[Shaunyboy]

Ah right, hmm, cant be botherd paying renault prices.

 

[Mark One]

No. and you don't need one.

 

[sideways danny]

flexis? you probably just need a new gasket. Most 182 do

 

[Martin_172]

lol u dont have a flexi! and as danny said above you just need a new gasket and sealing kit, bloddy expensive for what it is from renault, k-tec do them cheaper though. 5 minute job to change on a 182 with a 10mm socket and 10mm spanner not so easy on a 172!

Renault worked out cheaper for the fitting kit than Ktec. Ask Renault for the VAT off

 

[Shaunyboy]

Oh right, so what gasket, exhaust manifold, or the one where it joins to the cat?? Cud of sworn there was a flexi or im jus going insane :S lol

 

[Andyman]

Between cat to manifold is a spring kit with mesh incerted gasket to allow for movement. (see ktec's site for pictures)

The cat to middle section is just a normal metal gasket and just bolted up solid

 

[Shaunyboy]

ahh like saxos, its defo blowing from somwhere upfront, sounds like a diesel

 

[Christopher]

Yup.

Manifold-to-cat fitting kit.
