Can Anyone tell me how difficult it is to replace the outlet manifold to downpipe gasket? Is is blowing not too badly but what it fixed. I took a look under the car and the bolts look akward to get to.
 
Id say they're fairly siezed. Try cleaning them first with a wire brush, then Wd40 left to soak in to try loosen them a bit. Try not to round the bolts, easier said than done, good luck.
 
replacing manifold downpipe gasket 1.6 engine

My downpipe to manifold gasket is blowing slightly. Its the 1.6 model so the exhuast is at the rear of the engine and it difficult for access underneath the engine.Is there any special way to replace this? Could I just use exhuast paste to seal it? Thanks
 
Exhaust paste will burn off, best would be to go to a place that can heat up the nuts and take them off.
