Well, only just finished flushing out the IC and inlet manifold, 5 hrs solid!!
The inlet manifold is just such a bastard to remove, not room to get tools onto the bolts, but got there in the end....
Stripped down the front end to allow the IC to be removed, then unbolted the fuel cooler from the inlet manifold. Discoinnected the harness for injectors, maf, IAT, coolant sensor, wastegate modulator and fed that though the inlet manifold legs. Removed the MAP, removed the De-Egr pipe, unplugged the glow plugs then fiddled like buggery getting all the bolts off the mani.
It was in pretty **** state:
Loads of thick gunge inside
Worst thing was that the front three lower bolts weren't even finger tight, so all and crap had been leaking/blowing out - gah!
Hoping this is oil blow by from the mani, and not the start of a failed HG.
I'll degunk it tomorrow and jetwash.
Inlet manifold full of white spirit:
Did this twice, then did 3 lots of gunk and jet wash, got it a lot cleaner but not mint.
IC was next, it had a full bottle of white spirit:
Set my hot air gun onto the manifold to dry it out. And blew the IC out using my airgun & compressor.
It's all back together now, and she's a rocket ship again
