    wonder if someone can help!



    i have a saxo vtr mk2 (2001 y reg) and i have snapped off a bit of a pipe for the air intake manifold, its the one in the centre, thats next to the intake air temperature sensor



    tried some poxy glue but no



    so is it easy to remove the manifold? do i have to take of the fuel injectors/rail?


    please help!

    tried 5 min epoxy, that was solid untill i tried to connect a vac pipe



    need a new battery too


    plan is to charge the battery, block the pipe and block the hole using a screw, and get it to a mates house, who is a first class bodger!



    leaving it "open" cause's issues with the rpm dropping and stalling

    once the hole is sealed in the air intake chamber, what issues would that have?


    leaving it open is not good!
