Removing inlet manifold & cam cover - Orta - 24-11-2014

Its only a few plugs and bolts...how hard can it be!
Obviously use new gaskets when reassembling though.

Yeah I guessed about the gaskets but otherwise it's hard yeah!

The only tricky thing is to get to two screws on the underside of the manifold. Everything else is straight forward

Yeah pretty simple tbh
Assume we talking XU10?

Make sure when you put it back on that its seated against the head properly otherwise they can break when you tighten the bolts up
And make sure the cam cover gaskets are okay as they aren't a replaceable a gasket like the inlet

There's a guide on the gti6 forum.
& yes make sure it is seated properly and that you torque it up gently and properly etc.
I warped two.

RE: Removing inlet manifold & cam cover - Toms306 - 25-11-2014
It's the same procedure for XSi.

You know the various clips holding pipes on? Are these reusable once removed and if not where can I get them / what are they actually called ? (Pic attached)
RE: Removing inlet manifold & cam cover - RetroPug - 26-11-2014
Think there's a tool for pushing them together.
I levered them open with a screwdriver and now have jubilee clips on them, makes life much easier when they need to come off.
RE: Removing inlet manifold & cam cover - Niall - 26-11-2014
They are reusable. There is a proper tool but i just use a pair of side cutters.
RE: Removing inlet manifold & cam cover - Toms306 - 26-11-2014
Yeah theyre called 'Clic R' clamps and I have a tool for removing and refitting them.
