Actually the reason I sent my car in was to replace the broken bolt which holds the manifold. While doing this, it was discovered that the manifold was cracked as well.
This time around, instead of changing it, I decided to weld it. Lets see how long it would last. Sorry, I don't have pictures of the repair to share. I had to leave the car at the workshop as I was busy with work, couldn't hang around while repair was being done.
Repair work took about 8 hrs. Had to leave the car at the workshop overnight. Collected the car today and it sounds fine. Repair work cost RM100 Only.
Breakdown :-
1. Manifold Welding - RM10
2. Labor to replace Idler Bearing - RM10
3. Removing Broken Manifold Bolt - RM50
4. Coolant - RM30 ( had to replace coolant because they removed the radiator to have more work space in the engine bay)
Hope this repair lasts. Otherwise have I'll have to hunt for an extractor :-)
