Hey everyone, this is my first post so I'd firstly just like to say great site and thanks in advance for any help. I have a 406 SRi turbo and just recently the exhaust has started blowing quite badly from I beleive the exhaust manifold gasket. Anyway I brought a replacement gasket but I can't for the life of me work out how I'm gonna fit the thing. Problem is I can't get access to the manifold from either underneath the car or behind the engine from the top. The closest thing i could find while looking through the forums was some idea of removing the turbo but i don't fancy removing the sub frame. So if anyone could shed some light on this little mystery for me I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks again
Andrew

Well I've done it. "Pig of a job" is a bit of an understatement! it was a nightmare... I'm just hoping i've put everything back properly cause i could smell a bit of oil burning when i first took it out, I'm hoping its just what came out when i took the turbo oil feed off. No blowing now tho which is always a good sign.
Thanks again Malachy.
