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.

dont lose any bolts down the inlet. thats a good tip.

as long as you have the right tools then its not difficult. easier to take the whole inlet off than just the plastic pipe.

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

u got any idea how hard it is to remove the inlet pipe to check it over?

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

if you chop the collector off, it will not be as good pulling away from a junction


why is this, isnt this just starving the engine of air?

have replaced the exhaust manifold gasket and fully tightened it but the problem is still there

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

the RR has it too... very faint though, and i beleive its the exhaust manifold too

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

doesnt sound like an air leak to me

how loud is the noise? could it be CV joint/boot or water pump?
