Exhaust manifold, 4-cyl.

To remove

Warning

Be careful if the engine is warm. The coolant is hot and there is a risk of burns from the exhaust manifold.



1. Open the expansion tank cap to release the system pressure.


2. Raise the car.

3. Remove the lower front cover.

12. Unplug the radiator fan's connectors and move them aside.

13. Remove the bolts on each side of the fan assembly.

14. Loosen the clip holding the cooling system vent hose.

On cars with automatic transmission, also remove the pipe mounting on the fan cowling.

15. Detach the upper radiator hose by undoing the hose clip and bending the hose aside.

16. Unhook and twist the fan assembly, then lift it out.

17. Unplug the boost pressure control valve connector.

28. Undo the retaining nuts and remove the front part of the exhaust system from the turbo.

29. Carefully lower the front exhaust system away from the turbo.

Important

The flexible section at the front of the exhaust system should not be bent out of line by more than 7°, i.e. if the front exhaust system is allowed to hang, it must not bend more than the sag caused by its own weight.

If the pipe is overloaded, permanent deformation of the components will result. This can cause noise and leakage, and damage at a later stage.


30. Remove the oil pipe to the turbo. Save the copper washers.


31. Loosen the water pipe at the turbo. Save the copper washers.

35. Remove the bolts securing the turbo to the exhaust manifold.

36. Relieve the tension on the multigroove belt with a puller shank 83 95 254 Puller shank, hydraulic belt tensioner .


37. Move the belt away from the power steering pump.

38. Remove the power steering pump bracket from the engine mount.

39. Undo the power steering pump bracket bolts and move the pump aside.


40. Push the turbo aside and remove the exhaust manifold. Save the spacer sleeves and washers.


To fit


Note

Smear the studs and gasket sparingly with Molycote 1000, part. no. 30 20 971 or similar, to prevent them baking on.
