i own a Sachs sx1 50cc moped and just recently the gasket in the exhaust blew out. i cant find a replacement on the internet and could do with some help as my exhaust is blowing. would using exhaust repair putty around the gap left by the gasket be a viseable plan? thanks!
go to the dealer you bought the moped from and ask their
mechanic
1985 VW Westfalia, may need exhaust manifold gasket, truly need advice on upkeep, always grateful to vw life?
1985, clean, go-westy engine, need advice to keep healthy. Exhaust is loud, think i need manifold gasket. AC, shocker, not working but curious why. How can I install extra batt. under driver seat? All advice is gratefully respected.
Loud exhaust...first place I would look is the muffler for a rust hole not a gasket. AC. not working? maybe compressor belt broke, or it needs a recharge AC people can check that out for they have the testing equipment. Shocks worn out? It happens, they do wear out. Total replacement. No second battery under drivers seat.(you don't want it in the car cause batteries give off explosive fumes. Motor is also 10 feet away. Battery should be as close as possible for the starter motor. Better to get a high cranking amp battery from WalMart. It does not need to be VW. You just need measure with tape measure the length, width, and height room and which side the ground is on and go shopping for another battery. 1000 cranking amps is plenty good. Batteries only last 5 -7 years.
Intake Manifold What does it mean if my van has a damaged intake manifold runner control module?
My 2000 ford windstar's check engine light pops on & the code given says that I have a damaged intake manifold runner control module? what does this mean? How expensive/serious is this??? Thanks!
Hi,
The intake manifold runner control module (IRMC) controls how the air is fed into the intake parts in the engine head. There are air passages that open and close depending on what the engine RPM is. This is to improve engine performance and efficiency.
You could call the parts department at your Ford dealership and they could tell you how much the part is. I'm not sure if this is a part you can buy from the aftermarket. If it is you could have it done at a local shop. If not, then you will have to have the dealer do this job.
It's not terribly serious but you will sacrifice engine performance and gas mileage by not getting it fixed.
What is the difference between an intake and an intake manifold?
At first I thought intake was just shorten for intake manifold but when I googled it, they looked completely different. Intake manifold looks like some kind of plate.
Intake manifolds are the metal (usually aluminum) that connect the head(s) to the incoming air into the motor. The intake is the apparatus that streamlines and connects the incoming air (includes some sort of filter) into the manifold.
