rare is infamous around these parts
Cracked Manifold?
Need some expert advice here.

I was doing a light bulb change and something caught my eye.
I noticed some small cracks on the intake manifold and it's got me worried the more i inspect it.
I can't tell if it's just surface or something more sinister and it's leaking.

My car is a 2008 TT with 12,300 kms and no engine mods whatsoever.

Pics for your judgement.




Anyone else seen this or heard of it before?

You need a new intake, the situation you have could result in a evap system fail, CEL.
