Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Looking for a little bit of help on a 1.4 tdi.

If anyone has pics great but even a rough guide would be nice. Does anyone know how to take off the inlet manifold?

I just want to take it off to give it a good clean out same with the EGR valve. Will I be ok take the vacuum pipe out of the EGR valve too? When I did a search there is alot of conflicting advice.

Thanks for any advice guys, always appreciated. :thumbup:

Taken from a user called Raikky on clubpolo

1. spray penetrating oil on the 2 nuts which clamp the egr pipe to exhaust manifold then remove. maybe you will need nut/bolt removers.
2. remove other 2 bolts which clamp egr pipe to egr housing. discard gaskets
3. pull egr pipe away
4. remove inlet elbow from manifold and IC pipe from IC to elbow hose.
5. undo the 3 bolts which secure the egr housing to manifold. then pull egr housing off.
6. 4 bolts secure manifold to head. remove these then pull off manifold.
7. clean out manifold
8. put everything back in reverse order using new gaskets and nuts.

Does that sound about right?
