I tried them, in conversation I said to him the exhaust was blowing, and he said the exhaust manifold was sucking air in whistle and the lambda was getting confused. £30.
He 100% said that!

That sounds ok to me, all though at times there is large positive pressure and may blow outwards, the exhaust gas rushing past a gap can draw air in (many things rely on this effect), and obviously would upset the lambda.

The blow is well after the lambda though. He just gave me a diagnosis on what I just told him, I didnt pay for that!

take the manifold off, as it defo has a blow in it, last time i bought a gasket for one of them a week back it was about £1-2

defo do that before doing anything, i did a 75 1.8t which was doing the same and was clicking from the exhaust, changing the manifold gasket sorted it
