CDTI inlet manifold query !

Just a quickie.....

how can you tell if the manifold has been changed for the uprated version ??

my car is an 06 model sri and the bar is on at the moment, so i was wondering if had been changed at all in its life?

cheers

It will be shiney compared to the rest of the engine
And the plastic swirl valves move inside a plastic sleeve on the updated inlet manifolds,where as the old swirl valves turn inside the cast of the manifold.
The swirl valves and sleeves look plastic to me anyway.

Here are two threads with pics old & new, the swirl in the old as said above has one part to it as the new one has a two parts.

You can see the part number bit in this picture (It should be 5518264 I think)
