POTENTIAL COMPLAINTS:
- Lack of power
- Valves not working
- Cam control mechanism broken
- Malfunction indicator lamp lights up
The cause of the damage is not the intake manifold but a leaky line in the engine ventilation system. The line in the engine ventilation system runs above the cam control mechanism on the intake manifold. The line originally fitted in the engine ventilation system can start to leak with age or load. If oil leaks out here and drips onto the cam control mechanism, its plastic material can become porous and break.
- If oil leaks out, the plastic line must be replaced immediately with an aluminium line.
- If the cam control mechanism is already damaged, the intake manifold should be replaced.
