Hi
I have a 1999 Renault scenic megane. A couple of days ago the engine died on me. I got it going again but it cut out again after a couple of hundred yards and would not start again.
A lad from a near by garage was walking past and had a look and said my manifold was cracked. He said it would start again when the engine had cooled down which it did.
I have used the car a few times since and it has been ok as long as it doesn't warm up. As soon as it warms up the engine dies and I have to wait for it to cool down.
I have had a look at the manifold and there are two cracks on it I can't see how far or bad they are at the back.
My question is could these cracks be causing the problem or is it something worse. Sorry for being so long winded
