Hi all looking for some advice please.

My XF went into restrictive performance mode a couple of weeks ago, so took it to the garage I use where they found that the throttle body was cracked which was replaced and a couple of other pipes that had splits in them. They took it for a road test and after a while on the road test it went back into restrictive performance mode again. They done a smoke rest and found that the near side inlet manifold had split as well.

The question is do I replace just the one side or do both inlet manifolds  🤔  and does anyone know how long it takes.

Be glad of any help, thanks in advance

Personally, I would change both. I believe that these cars are prone to this issue.

Definitely both.
