Exhaust Manifolds

[TPJ]

I have a 2000 X reg Yaris 998 vvti and the exhaust manifold is making a pap sound. I took it to a Toyota specialist in Wakefield and they said it's either the gasket that's gone or the manifold has a crack. When idling and the engine is cold you can feel an air blast whaere the sound is coming from. They've costed a new one but that's about £200 plus fitting. Looking at the original it's degraded quite a bit and I don't think it will hold up to welding. Most of the miles are motorway and a lot of surface water hits the engine. I've already replaced the radiator after it disintegrated. The car has 132k and I'm not really bothered about fitting a new one. I sourced one from a Yaris that's being broken but it's a 2006 T3 998CC. The garage said they'd fit any part I can source.

My question is will this newer one fit my Yaris? Are the engine layouts the same for the 998 across this year span from 2000 to 2006? It's £70 which is quite a difference. Is there any way of checking the part numbers for both years to see if it's compatible?

Any help is appreciated as always.

If it's a 2006 model then I'm afraid it wont fit your car as the new yaris 998cc has three cylinders and yours has four.

I found one for my car in a breakers for £30. Just hope the garage can swap it over ok without any of the studs snapping.

The original manifold really is quite crusty.
