GC 4.0 cracked manifold
 

Well upset. Just spent 500 ukp having exhaust manifold on my '98 GC replaced. It was cracked in
three places. The replacement has flexible connections to the outer two ports. Anyone know the
cause of the damage (apart from sh*te design) and is it worth claiming off Jeep for the cost
(as it appears they already knew)
Thanks
CB

They won't offer up any cash as the part is out of warranty. Some
people have had luck with their dealers going in for half the cost,
but that is a rarity. I had sent DC an email regarding this and my '98
TJ, and they informed me that since it was out of warranty they won't
help.

Although if you would have ahad it done at the dealer $500.00 would be
half of the cost, so nevermind.

Yeah thanks Dave, just found out that there is a class action going on in the states but sadly
nothing in the uk. Think this stinks. Will be my last Jeep.
