Is this Rs2 exhuast manifold?

[VladaS2]

I might be needing new rs2 exhaust manifold and I've been offered one with part no. 034 253 033 C. Seller claims it is from an RS2 and it looks like it, but ETKA does not recognize that? Can anyone confirm what is it?

Why does ETKA say 034 253 031 A (and you're right it does not like 033 C)?

Thanks Terry. Surplus in a sense it was taken from an actual rs2? I wonder why is there no trace of that part no. in etka.

Mine was taken from an RS2 with the P/N 034 253 033 C. ETKA only shows the current numbers, not the original/old ones.

083 C in picture?

You are right, could be 083C when I take a better look.

I have a mani stamped 034 253 033 C. I thought I read somewhere that this was a later casting of the RS2 034 253 031 A. But after reading two threads here, I am uncertain. I bought mine from Germany for my S2. Sold the car before I installed the mani.

What is the final verdict on the "033 C"?

The casting has one number, e.g. 033C. The assembly of the casting and the studs for the Wastegate has another PN, i.e. 031A

Thanks. You are certainly correct in what you say. The part "034 253 031 A" may consist of studs and other components besides the cast iron bit. But that wasn't exactly what I meant to ask.

I have seen other RS2 ex manis. You can see the number "034 253 031 A" cast in the iron. Now I have a mani that looks exactly like the other RS2 manifolds but with another number cast in the iron. So I am wondering if Audi ever made another casting of the RS2 manifold with the number "034 253 033 C".
