Hi all, Wonder if anyone may hazard a guess - Recently found that the manifold has fractured on my 2000 306 1.6 petrol. So whilst waiting to get part, for what looks like a simple bolt off bolt on procedure (?), tonight the orange warning light that resembles engine block has illuminated, coupled with a struggling engine at low revs.
Fortunately only 100Yds from home, but am wondering are the two events probably linked? and therefore resolved by replacing manifold..... whadya reckon?
Thanks for any ideas,
Mark

I'm not sure which manifold you mean, probably the exhaust manifold but it could be the inlet manifold. Either one would make the engine run below par, especially inlet manifold that will upset the petrol / air mixture badly.
If it's the exhaust manifold perhaps the leak has upset the oxygen sensor located close by on the exhaust down pipe (has a wire attached). This may account for the warning light and poor running.
Best bet is to repair the manifold then take it from there, see how it runs. If you are lucky it will be a temporary fault that sorts itself out.
