Hi all,
sorry for reviving an old thread, My RH manifold is definitely cracked. noticed my engine cover was oily and the general area looked oily under it, so cleaned it all up and sprayed it with soapy water,. lo and behold, bubbles on the RH manifold on the edge of the seam in the middle on the top (seems like the most common place). I'm looking at doing this myself as it doensnt look very tricky just a lot to remove and refit? looks like a full kit with Rh manifold, gasket and injector washers is around £300? are there any other bits to be aware of or change whilst im there?

Cheers

Anyone find that it’s not just number 8 that’s a struggle? Number 4 is also fouling the body but I don’t see this reported anywhere- is my car special? 😂 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

Same as the left side, apparently lift the engine after undoing the engine mount. I have put off changing my gasket as it's stupidly hot here plus after an oil change using 10w40 oil ( specified for hot climates ) the leak has all but stopped. 2007 TDV8 VSE

sikaflex

Mine has also gone on the drivers side, i have both sides ready to fit just not had the time and since i used sikaflex to temporarily repair the crack it still hasnt failed! When i get around to it i will take plenty of photos but with a baby due christmas day i cant see it being anytime soon!


Know i'm digging up an old thread hear! :S

Interested to know if this lasted long as investigating a boost leak code P023D(22) and going to check if its the intake tomorrow when its daylight. if it is I will definitely be trying sikaflex for a temporary repair.

I had to split the injector to get number 4 out as I couldn’t get near the engine mount bolts! 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

Thought id reply to share my experience (still having flashbacks like nam) on these latest replies.

I tried the sikaflex repair and it didn't last long. I don't think it's worth trying as sods law it will go again when you need it most.

In regards to the engine mounts the back one you can get to glfrom.the top of the engine bay straight down with extension bars and a crows foot head (the ones that are like a flare spanner)

The front one you can get to from the drivers (RH) inner wheel arch with the cover removed it's behind one of the lower air hoses. It's tight but once you can see them it's easily doable. Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue

Ah, so you need to remove the arch liner- I wasn’t sure if removing that would help much, ok- good to know

Well after 3 years of putting it off I have decided to dig in and change the Left Hand side gasket.
For those like me who only need to do the lh side its not as bad as I thought and the centre plenum does not need to come off
To do the job its advisable to have a deep 10mm socket prefrable with a 1/4 drive set. An 18mm socket, a universal joint and about 2ft of extensions. a17mm open ended spanner for the fuel lines
Fuel lines can stay on the injector, The fuel rail can stay but the main fuel pipe needs to come off.
Here are some pics of my stripped engine took about 2 1/2hrs to get the cover off. I will put it back tomorrow so if anyone has any questions please ask
