150 cdti inlet manifold question

[sr_fly]

Afternoon peeps.

Whilst checking the engine the other day I noticed the bar had fallen off its mounted pivots so its looks like a new maniflod gutted.

As im going to do the job myself I would like to know if it necessary to change the electric drive module? The pierburg spec sheet says you do but im not convinced. Has anyone done there inlet but left the drive module for the old one???

any opinions?

Do it..

I know its an extra £100 - but if your gonna do a job, do it fully ..

People have left old ones, but for me, if the makers say change.. Whilst doing a job like this for me its worth doing 100%

A lot people have changed the manifold and left the original drive in place and had no problems.

Didn't replace the motor when I did my manifold and it's been fine.
But just check it's moving the 3rd flap ok when you rev it before you start the job. The motor can be changed with the manifold in place if it needs to be.

Do a search on the 'tap washer mod'. PPL have repaired the swirl bar for a few £. Worth a look

As above, do the upturned numberplate screw cap mod first, mine has been done three months now and the bar has not fallen off and i have no dash lights ect.

I got my manifold off Ebay for £150. Turned out it was from a vauxhall dealer in milton keynes?! Got local backstreet garage to fit it for £300. Problem solved and its been like a different car!!

Bought the manifold today so I think I will go with the above if the motor is still working.

As above, upturned screw caps. Did mine yesterday, bit of tricky refit but saved me £££'s
