RookieI had my exhaust manifold blow of the connection to the pipe - you could see it from the top of looking into engine compartment. LUCKILY - i had a friend who tack-welded the piece back together.
That was over a year ago & i am now having the check engine light re-appear. but i have a code reader - so i just clear the code.Flag ThisLike0 -
