Plastic Inlet Manifold

[GWtaylor 8 1 Cars]

Did they do a plastic inlet manifold as I've just been told that mine has a alloy and not plastic

Making it the wrong engine for year as mine is a L reg but all other tags say its correct engine

How can I tell for certain that its the correct engine

Pretty sure that's not true. Aren't they all alloy on Peugeots, but the Citroens had plastic on some, if not all?

Late CAT equipped 1.9's did have a plastic manifold.

At least some of the Motronic (CAT) 205 GTi's had plastic inlet manifolds, but I'm not sure if they all did.

 

Here's an example (image a bit on the large side)

 

They're fairly prone to cracking, so I suspect that many have been swapped back to alloy anyway.

 

If the engine code / number tie up I wouldn't worry too much.

Just the really late Motronic models were plastic. Probably something like '92 onwards, as my '91 had an aluminium manifold. I fixed one recently which had sucked in the welsh plug from the alternator side. It went WOT instantly!

As said, early CAT car's did not have the plastic inlet, only later ones, Ignore the Reg it's the chassis number thats the main thing
