hdi engine

[tysonbully2k12]

would anyone have a hdi engine removed that they could take a picture of the bolts on the inlet manifold and exhaust manifold? Rep will be given

What do you need to see?

Exactly that ^^^^
Thanks

Should also note theres no EGR on that pic...so yours will have more shite in the way...

forgot about that :O  all that crap will be coming off anyway

EGR Gubbins will be similar to this

Are the inlet manfold bolts torx's? Or allen bolts?

[HDi--Power]

Allen heads on top, 13mm nuts on bottom

[tysonbully2k12]

how many bolts are holding the turbo on? i have the 8 nuts and spacers off. one allen bolt near the sump. is there any more?

[Toms306]

Aren't there 2 allen bolts on the support bracket? And 1 13mm nut/bolt on the other 'leg' of the bracket?

i could only see 1 allen on the bottom and a bolt on the top of the bracket. the   wont move :/

I'm sure you were told it was a pain in the ass.

It's been nearly a year since I rebuilt a HDi and I must admit I can't really remember now, sure there shouldn't be anything else holidng it on though. All the EGR shite is removed yeah?

shhhh its really easy 

all egr is gone, just need to get the   turbo moved so i can get 3 last bolts 

[Toms306]

Hmm, don't know without seeing it. Is the bracket free or is that still solid? May have to loosen both of sides of it if you haven't already. Also are the oil pipes in the way at all? Both are flexible so shouldn't be that though.

[HDi--Power]

You need to remove the big aluminium inlet pipe too, its bolted on the inlet side of the turbo, with the 8 nuts and studs out there is just the exhaust and the lower support bracket(2 allen key bolts and 1 bigger nut and bolt 16mm iirc) holding the turbo and manifold on

[tysonbully2k12]

the stupid thing is out, there was 2 allen bolts 
it was definitely leaking as there's oil everywhere and you can see where the gasket failed. only took 6 hours to remove it 

[Toms306]

Yay I was right...

6 hours!! I can have a HDi engine out in 2...

[tysonbully2k12]

6 hours is good time   got half way through and said it would be easier to take engine out   
Have to put it all back together now   All this effort for a 5euro gasket 

[HDi--Power]

Take the time to clean out the inlet manifold and thoroughly clean the mating faces on head and manifold or else you will be removing it all again

[Toms306]

 All this effort for a 5euro gasket 

And that's why people don't bother fixing minor leaks on these... Good luck for the refit...see you in another 6 hours...

ill be cleaning it but if it leaks i aint taking it off again. it can stay leaking

i know for next time not too touch it  im hoping around 4 hours  should fly through it

If you spent less time online you would be done by now

LOL


 Copper grease everything upon reassembly...... Just for future developments.

[tysonbully2k12]

i have the inlet back on   
just to bolt exhaust mani up and put everything back together   hopefully it fixes the problem

[Toms306]

Well done lol, you've clearly got more patience than myself!!

[tysonbully2k12]

wasnt too bad once i got to know where all the bolts where, the worst bit was the   birds in the shed tweeting all the time. had to put the radio on full blast
