Today saw the removal of the Inlet Manifold, Throttle Body and Injectors. Rather simple to removal, although I didn’t realise that so much was attached to the underneath of the IM. I’ve removed the PVC system also. It’s a true man test! It ran sweet as a nut before I took it apart and I’m a little concerned that it might not once it’s all back together… Fingers crossed!
More polishing today… This time it’s the Manifold getting the treatment. Before I got round to that, I quickly freshened up the TB; it’s held up really well. Just needs some metal wax applied now to give it some durability.
Inlet Manifold before I started. An observation is that it was nails to remove the Injector Seals. I had to delicately break them with a screw driver. The new ones are going to be rather difficult to get in. I’ll look for a fitting
guide to see if there’s any tips.
Nearly done now. Just the final stage of mopping to finish off. It has a nice even mirror finish, which I’m pretty chuffed with. I’ll take some better pictures when it’s fitted to the car.
With the mani off, I have good access to the lower part of the block and all the ancillaries, so I’ll take the opportunity to do a few bits
David at Sere Motors has been able to source me a
Mk2 Leon Coil Pack Harness cover for £10 posted, which is a result as US prices were ridiculous. Hopefully that should be with me on Monday
