Exhaust manifold

Warning

There is a risk of burn injuries when working with the exhaust pipe.


To remove


1. Lay out wing covers and remove the negative cable from the battery.

2. Remove the engine cover and charge air pipe (2 bolts under wiring harness). Plug the hoses.


3. Remove the bracket on the camshaft cover

4. Remove the electric connections from the glow plugs.

5. Remove the crankcase ventilation hose and the intake hose from the turbocharger.

6. Remove the heat shields from the turbocharger, exhaust manifold and starter motor. Slacken one of the bolts securing the lifting eye for clearance. The lower mounting for the starter motor heat shield need only be slackened.


7. Remove the wiring harness duct from the engine and move it forward.

8. Remove the nuts securing the front exhaust pipe to the turbocharger.

9. Raise the car and remove the lower cover.


10. Loosen the joint between the front exhaust pipe and the middle pipe.


11. Remove the front rubber mountings and lower the exhaust pipe.

Important

Work carefully so that the bellows is not bent or cracked.


12. Position a container underneath the engine and remove the oil delivery pipe for the turbocharger from the cylinder block.


13. Remove the oil return pipe for the turbocharger from the cylinder block.

14. Remove the upper bolt securing the exhaust manifold support, and slacken the lower bolt so that the support can be moved aside. Lower the car.

15. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the wastegate diaphragm unit, remove the exhaust manifold and lift out the turbocharger and exhaust manifold.

16. Remove the turbocharger from the exhaust manifold.


To fit


1. Clean the sealing surfaces, apply Molycote 1000 on the sealing surfaces and on the studs, fit the turbocharger on the exhaust manifold.

Tightening torque 30 Nm (22 lbf ft).


2. Clean the sealing surfaces, apply Molycote 1000 on the studs and fit the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head using a new gasket and new nuts.

Tightening torque 22 Nm (16 lbf ft).

3. Connect the vacuum hose to the idle air control valve diaphragm unit.

4. Apply Molycote 1000 on the turbocharger studs.

5. Raise the car. Reposition the exhaust manifold support and tighten the bolts.

Tightening torque 25 Nm (18.5 lbf ft).

6. Connect the turbocharger oil return pipe to the cylinder block.

Tightening torque 30 Nm (22 lbf ft).

7. Connect the oil delivery pipe for the turbocharger to the cylinder block.

Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 lbf ft).

8. Clean the exhaust pipe joints and fit new rubber mountings if needed.


9. Fit the front part of the exhaust pipe using a new gasket and fit new nuts.

10. Tighten the exhaust pipe to the middle pipe.

Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 lbf ft).

11. Fit the cover and lower the car.


12. Tighten the nuts securing the turbocharger and the front exhaust pipe.

Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 lbf ft).


13. Remove the oil delivery pipe connection from the turbocharger and fill the turbocharger oil channel with engine oil. Turn the turbocharger shaft a few times and top up if needed.

Important

It is essential that there is oil in the turbocharger when the engine is started.


14. Tighten the oil delivery pipe connection to the turbocharger using new sealing washers.

Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 lbf ft).

15. Refit the wiring harness duct to the engine.

16. Refit the heat shields over the exhaust manifold, turbocharger and starter motor. Tighten the bolt on the lifting eye.

17. Connect the suction hose to the turbocharger and crankcase ventilation hose.


18. Connect the glow plugs.

19. Fit the bracket to the camshaft cover.

20. Fit the charge air pipe.

21. Fit the engine cover.

22. Connect the negative cable to the battery.
