Cracked inlet Manifold

Hi all, been driving around for last week or so and keep getting the restricted performance light on. Took it into LR last week and was told it had a fault code of P006A and they repaired the turbo compressor shut off valve as they said it was seizing.

As soon as I took the car up the motorway the restricted performance cut back in again. So booked it into the dealer and they said they couldn't look at it until Thursday this week.

So I have been going steady with it to work and back for the last couple of days but tonight coming down the Motorway I noticed it was making a whooshing noise so I took it straight into the dealer.

One of their mechanics has had a ride out in the car and a brief look under the bonnet with a torch and he thinks it could be a split in the inlet manifold.

They are going to have a proper look in the morning but the short and tall of it is they reckon that it could cost about £1400 +VAT in parts and labour if it is the inlet manifold.

My car is a late 2009 with 70k on the clock and out of warranty. My question is do you think the dealer is pulling my pants down at that price? As it's out of warranty would it be an easy enough job for a good independent to do?

And also at coming up to 5 years old with 70k do you think LR customer services would do anything, should this part have lasted longer?

Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer

Cracked / split inlet manifolds are rare so it seems strange to have had 2 on the forum today, both on D4s.

I was speaking to an LRA guy the other day and he has had a few split on 3ltr tdv6. I have had a few Tdv8 sportones split, but no v6 ones as of yet.

A smoke test machine is the best way to check for leaks.

Regards
Steve

Interesting. So it's an easy DIY? I am handy with the spanners albeit on simpler cars.

I was quoted 8 hours labour for this repair and was told quite a lot needs to come off the engine to do this. Thumbs Up
