Check that it has had the replacement manifold

)

Congratulations Drax (i assume it is good news that you got the job

)

LLL, yep. But we're not talking about a performance petrol car, we're talking about a daily diesel. And there are asthma sufferers on LG.

@drax Sorry for the delay in coming back to you mate. There wasn't a recall as such, but an extended warranty was offered as there was an inherent fault in the exhaust manifold that led to them cracking and diesel exhaust fumes entering the cabin. There are no longer any vehicles which fall under the scope of the warranty, so if a crack were to develop or be present now then it would mean shelling out to get it replaced with the updated manifold.

I can't remember if it only applies to a select run of VIN's, although it was a very common problem with the CL shape - I will dig out the thread from the Accord forum.

@Thebusofwoe would know anything more to look out for on these as well, I would think?
