Welding EM

[Rikki Kitto]

OK the dilemma, hairline crack on one internal bend of exhaust manifold sure it's not right through car seemed to run OK before. To weld, replace or leave. Time is an issue so tempted to just put back on

[caterpillar]

the org cast one or aftermarked one??
weldin a cast audi... i will say no weldin...use it , and when serious crack; buy a new one

Guess you will have to weight up the cost of a uncracked replacement versus the ballache in sorting it back out once the car is back together! Lots of things to take back off, new gaskets particularly the oil feed etc etc!

If it's a stock manifold on a stock car then you could use the STR log or RS2 copy manifold, if a stock replacement in good condition doesn't materialise and you're stuck.
