Replacement of the Car Manifold

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Engine

The exhaust manifold connects the car's engine to the exhaust. Replacing an old manifold can lead to a significant increase in engine power. It is not a particularly complicated task and can be done alone. First, lift the car and remove the clamps and bolts connecting the manifold to the exhaust, allowing you to slide the exhaust off. You can then remove the old manifold, clean the surrounding area, and fit the new one, tightening the bolts until they are secure.
