Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has experienced a cracked exhaust manifold?Mine has cracked in two places so I've been told. Car hasn't even covered 26k miles yet :S
Also, do you think I could claim it under warranty even though it's likely considered wear and tear? But only 26k miles
How old? I can't see how a manifold is consider a wear&tear part as although you wouldnt expect it to last forever it should last a reasonable length of time in the same way the gearboxes SHOULD last a reasonable amount of time/distance.
2011 :S I've seen people quoted £900 for parts and labour from renault on here. That's a scary thought if I have to pay that. So you think it should be covered under warranty?
For a 2011 car with pretty average mileage? I don't know the Ts&Cs of the warranty but I'd be expecting it to be replaced under the warranty. A manifold only lasting 2 years is definitely not fit for purpose.
It does mention exhaust I'm afraid but it does say there is scope for replacement if due to material/manufacturing defect. I'd say it's pretty defective on either account no? Either way I'd kick up the proverbial storm of fecal matter if they tried to fob me off.
