a new gasket from the manifold to the head or one connecting the top part to the lower inlet? | |

need all the right tools, lots of torx bits etc to remove and some fiddly bolts to remove the inlet manifold from the head. also, the water pipes from the head and the throttle body need to come off as well as needing a new inlet manifold gasket. | |

its not exhaust as weve already replaced the gasket on that, it does definitely sound like its coming from the inlet. | |

its easy, just a bit tight to get to the bolts that hold it on. | |

its there to keep a bit of extra air in the inlet soo when you pull away, its not struggling for air, also, it quietens the inlet noise, so removing it will probably make the car sound louder | |

good call adam, could well be the manifold blowing a tiny bit | |

on my 205 it was the exhaust manifold that caused this noise | |

also just wondering how easy it would be to chop the part that hangs down just to make the car a bit more responsive and if it would be worth it. | |

noise can only be heard after bout 1.5k rpm, seems to be coming from where the plastic inlet pipe joins the bottom of the throttle body, the noise can be constantly heard when driving | |
