Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen exhaust manifold repair & replacements
Read our answers to questions about exhaust manifold repair costs, symptoms and more.
What does an exhaust manifold repair on my Volkswagen involve?
- Mechanic will inspect the exhaust manifold and the gasket.
- If necessary, the mechanic will replace the gasket.
- Replacing the gasket entails removing the exhaust manifold (and reinstalling it).
- Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
- Mechanic will again check for any leaks around manifold and test drive the car.
What are the symptoms of a bad Volkswagen exhaust manifold?
- When the 'Check Engine' light is on.
- When the engine doesn't perform as usual (car does not rev freely etc.)
- When dirt has built up around the area of the exhaust manifold.
- When there is a smell or (in extreme cases) smoke coming from the engine bay.
- When the engine makes more noise than usual.
How long does it take to replace an exhaust manifold on my Volkswagen?
An exhaust manifold replacement usually takes around 2 hours, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace my Volkswagen exhaust manifold?
Due to the extreme temperature fluctuations inside the engine (during the combustion cycles the engine cools and heats continuously) it means that the exhaust manifold is especially prone to wear. It can be that the exhaust manifold develops a crack over time or, alternatively a leak can occur due to a broken mounting bolt. All this can lead to reduced performance (as the engine's vacuum is interrupted).
Should you experience problems like those noted earlier it is important to have the exhaust manifold inspected. It could be that, in those cases, the exhaust manifold should be replaced. Always remember to replace the exhaust manifold as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.

What is the average life of Volkswagen exhaust manifolds?
The average life of an exhaust manifold is around 100,000 miles but this number can vary depending on multiple factors such as driving habits and environmental conditions. If you notice any corrosion or damage to the exhaust manifold, it is best to have it checked as soon as possible as it's a vital part of the vehicle's exhaust system.
What causes Volkswagen exhaust manifolds to break?
Even a small crack in the manifold, a hole in the manifold, or a leak in the exhaust manifold can cause it to malfunction. The exhaust manifold is exposed to temperate changes as it's heating and cooling constantly which can cause a strain on the structural integrity of the metal over time.
