For sale: exhaust manifold XM turbo petrol 2.0 '93 onwards

[lemonman]

For sale good 2nd hand exhaust manifold. Had this one as a spare for my 1994 2.0 Turbo.
New price in 2008 was 700 quid. Anyone interested? Offers from fifty pounds plus p&p (= a tenner) or pick up in Basingstoke/Winchester area.

It this for a turbo or Normally Aspirated car?

I had a cracked exhaust manifold on my 2.0 Si. I think its common for these to crack, but the turbo cars blow the gasket rather than the manifold.

Yes its very common for the 8v engines to crack on the number 4 exhaust branch, tct manifolds are totaly bomb proof as the casting is very compact with no branches although they can fail at the turbo mating flange after many years abuse.

Just for completness the XM 8v manifold will be almost impossible to find but any 1.8/2.0 xantia manifold is exactly the same.

Spot on guys. It was the gasket in 2008 and not the manifold itself. That's why I still have got it as a spare and very probably won't need it.

Have you got it on E-bay? would be best off there as site traffic is rather limited here, also try an add on the Frenchcarforum, might be some activa owners who are after a manifold too.
