inlet manifold removal - tysonbully2k12 - 30-04-2015
how much effort is it to remove the inlet?
when i rev the engine i can feel air leaking out?
RE: inlet manifold removal - Poodle - 30-04-2015
To remove the inlet manifold: chronic, and i mean Chronic, ballache. To remove the inlet elbow is pretty easy though, if that's what you mean.
RE: inlet manifold removal - Uberderv - 30-04-2015
I would describe it as a complete ballbag. TBH if you can feel air blowing when rev t engine get some soapy water and spray the joints etc... Bubbles = leaks.
RE: inlet manifold removal - tysonbully2k12 - 30-04-2015
Its the hole manifold, wanted to put new gaskets on,
I will try soapy water and might try to tighten the bolts i can get to.
When i reach down the rear of the engine there is oil everywhere.
RE: inlet manifold removal - Iceman299 - 30-04-2015
I want to remove mine to give it a clean. There was a fair amount of oily gunk in there when i changed the elbow gasket
RE: inlet manifold removal - HDi--Power - 30-04-2015
Its held on by the exhaust manifold, so that has to come off first. Its beyond a ballache.
RE: inlet manifold removal - highwayman306 - 01-05-2015
Better with the engine out mate. You would need some long spanners if you tried from underneath and from the top you would need wafer thin arms and hands. Pig of a job!
RE: inlet manifold removal - tysonbully2k12 - 01-05-2015
i tried to tighten the bolts but there a
. would i have any luck with taking the mount off and pulling the engine forward? and does the exhaust manifold have to fully come off or can i just loosen the bolts and slide it out? as from pictures i saw the bottom hole is a slidey hole,
RE: inlet manifold removal - highwayman306 - 01-05-2015
That would give you a bit more room but exhaust manifold is the bitch of this, plus EGR pipes get in the way, you would have to clear some room up for it all

egr pipes will be taken out and left out, im thinking if i can take the mount off and pull it forward i should be able undo the bolts and loosen the exhaust bolts.
RE: inlet manifold removal - HDi--Power - 01-05-2015
Its possible if you remove the top engine mount and just slacken off the top exhaust mani bolts, but rather you than me

As said, possible but a f*cking nightmare! EGR would be easier removed if the engine was out too....
So you currently have all the EGR and shit still on, you welding plates to block top and bottom of EGR system? Engine out is your best bet...
Unless someone else can offer you some advice further to this. Good luck mate, let us know how you get on
RE: inlet manifold removal - Poodle - 01-05-2015
Yeah, as everyone keeps saying; it's a lot easier with the engine out.
RE: inlet manifold removal - tysonbully2k12 - 01-05-2015
peugeot cant get it till next week if that,
no way am i taking the engine out i would rather struggle
once i get the inlet off i should be able to take the exhaust manifold bolts out so i can put the gasket in. (thats the plan in my head)

i will make some plates up and take it all off. i will try and take some pictures and put a guide up as i cant find one anywhere,

The exhaust mani is held on by studs nuts and spacers so the studs need winding out separately after the nuts and spacers are removed
RE: inlet manifold removal - highwayman306 - 01-05-2015
Bashed knuckle territory this is, do you have leather hands Tyson
RE: inlet manifold removal - Toms306 - 01-05-2015
Don't just loosen the exhaust mani and retighten it, the gasket won't work properly the second time and you'll end up with leaks there as well.
Taking the engine out is easy compared to trying to remove any of that lot in situ!
RE: inlet manifold removal - Iceman299 - 01-05-2015
Take the engine out and do manifolds/gaskets/belts/pulleys etc all in one go
That's my plan.. Eventually lol
RE: inlet manifold removal - highwayman306 - 01-05-2015
Tyson, do you have access to a winch? Is that the issue? Because just looked over my engine to double check and I can confirm, there is not enough space mate. Someone myt help you out if they live close by
RE: inlet manifold removal - tysonbully2k12 - 01-05-2015
i have a hoist and car lift, but taking the engine out isnt going to happen. im nearly certain i can get it off without taking engine out,
My Plan
take engine mount off
pull engine forward
take inlet elbow off
take the top bolts out of inlet manifold
loosen nuts on exhaust manifold
pull inlet manifold out
remove the exhaust manifold studs
remove gasket
and then all that backwards.
should work
RE: inlet manifold removal - Toms306 - 01-05-2015
Sounds like you want to make it difficult lol, each to their own.
RE: inlet manifold removal - Iceman299 - 01-05-2015
If you have a hoist and car lift, why not remove the engine?
RE: inlet manifold removal - bashbarnard - 01-05-2015
You can have the engine in and out in a day it really is easy. I say remove it do all the stuff the put it back in. I can get an xud out in under 2 hours

Out of curiosity, what would you charge to remove and refit an engine?
RE: inlet manifold removal - Uberderv - 01-05-2015
If your going to attempt it you will have to remove the turbo support bracket and exhaust. This should allow to Mani/turbo to be moved backwards enough on the studs to gain access to the inlet bolts.
Have you proven its leaking from there yet?
RE: inlet manifold removal - tysonbully2k12 - 09-05-2015
its done and back together
not leaking any more and sounds alot quieter
it can be done with engine in and just pulled forward but its abit of a
