Wow - you did well replacing it on cup day in Darwin. Sorry I can't even recommend anyone local who would know much about the D4 . I assume it's the 3ltr .

Replaced the tubing. Still making sucking / blowing sound between 2 and 2.5. Still alarming into restricted performance.

I have an inlet manifold leak on drivers side. Coming from near cylinder 2 injector. Somewhere on the plastic air manifold???
Should I;
1. Try to glue it up?
2. Replace just this one?
3. Replace both?
Car has done 125k, 2009 motor. Has this manifold part been upgraded???
Did you remove the broken pipe / line from the previous pictures and replace it , or , did you just wrap it up in 100mph tape ?
Can you see a crack in the plastic cover cant really tell in the picture.
Cheers Ean
I replaced the tubing with a similar internal diameter flex rubber tube. Can see in picture foreground. Used double ended barb connectors to get it fixed to the rubber joiners at both ends. Don't believe leak is coming from them. Can't see crack. I'm assuming it's along the seam between the top and the side facing the injectors. Seen a similar fault in on line photos. Will take it to a shop tomorrow and ask for a pressure test.

						SubscriberVery common fault. Mine had the driver side done at 160k km. The passengers is still going strong at 240k km. Based on that I'd only do the one at this stage and save your money for the second if it ever goes in your ownership.
I was wondering if that was the issue for you but your symptoms are slightly different to most who have this issue.
It's expensive to fix as the fuel pipes are one use only, along with the amount of labour required to remove and reinstall. Factor in around $3k if that's it.

Looks like I've cracked the manifold. Very well described here. 3 litre inlet manifold crack problems
