I've been getting what I thought was classic 'cracked exhaust manifold'
noises. Kind of 'poppy' soudn under load.
I though I'd try to find the exhaust leak (back end of the motor), under all
the 'stuff' that is back there..
I'm sticking my hand down underneath everything, trying to feel for the leak
before the exhaust heats up. Not much of a window of time to do that, before
it's too hot to touch... :-)
Good thing is, it seems to be a leak in the wastegate bellows, so means at
least the manifolds doesn't have to come off.
Bad news is, it still looks like it might be a 'fun job' to replace the
belows, while the motor is still in the car.
Anyone have any tips to changing the bellows while the motor (MC1) is still
in the car?
