Hi guys

I am hoping you will be able to help

My c200 exhaust manifold is blowing and needs replacing, I have been looking on the net with very little success for a reasonably priced replacement, eBay has lots of second hand parts but I am nervous of going down this route as from what I am told these models are known for the manifolds cracking, so a second hand one may well go the same route, Mercedes want £430 for a new one and stainless parts around the same price.

I have found one part with catalytic on it for £299 from RSJ Eurauto , firstly has anyone used this part and secondly is there any manufacturers out there that are trusted but forum members

I have looked into repairing the manifold but its not very easy to get done down here in Cornwall

You advise would be gracefully received

Cheers

Ralph

My manifold was cracked on my E55. I had it removed and welded. Cost of welding £45, labour and new studs and gaskets took the bill closer to £300+ although I appreciate there is more work involved in doing one side of a V8.

I'd be inclined to ask around local fabricating/engineering shops and get a quote to re weld a cracked manifold and go the DIY route. I understand however that in Cornwall that may not be so easy.

The other route would be to get one from a specialist breakers yard or look on eBay.
