The exhaust manifold is a fundamental part of your vehicle's exhaust system, playing an integral role in managing emissions and ensuring your car runs smoothly and cleanly.

At Preston MOT & Garage, we understand the complexities involved in maintaining and repairing this critical part, and we provide top-quality service to ensure your manifold continues to function correctly.
Understanding the Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifold collects exhaust gases from the engine's cylinders and directs them into the exhaust pipe. This process allows the gases to be safely expelled from the vehicle. As a result, the manifold directly influences engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions levels.
Signs of Exhaust Manifold Issues
Understanding the signs of a faulty exhaust manifold is crucial for maintaining the health of your vehicle. Typical symptoms include loud engine noise, decreased power and acceleration, a burning smell under the hood, and visible smoke. In addition, you might notice an increase in emissions and reduced fuel efficiency. If you encounter any of these signs, it's vital to have your vehicle inspected promptly to prevent further damage.
