Manifold help

[xrchris]

I have a 1.4 SXE on which the manifold has cracked.

My VIN plate states its an AEX engine type, are there any other VW models that use the same manifold (its the one where the lambda sensor bolts onto it)?

Also which of the stamped no's is the part no for this one?

Pretty much any manifold from a 1.4 engine would fit. My manifold is exactly the same as that and my engine code is APQ

I have just found out that there are at least two types, one with the lambda sensor that bolts on and one that doesnt. As you can see mine has the bolt on version.
Apparently although I have an AEX engine, the manifold fitted to mine is not the normal AEX version as that usually comes without! From the part no its an AER version. no wonder people get confused!

Anyway the upshot is I have managed to sort out a second hand one for £30 plus postage which is ok considering they are £140 new.
