Coil cover installed
Inlet manifold spacer installed
Inlet manifold start polishing
Not quite as plain sailing as I had hoped.
I had a powder coated inlet manifold to go on. Sadly when it was coated they cooked the paint into the threads and when I tried to tighten up one of the throttle body bolts it sheared off
So I decided to polish my own one (taking this is stages as I use the car). Take it off, start work on it, got it to a condition where I can out on the car.
Rebuild car thinking all is ok. Look at injector seals and see they look fooked so off to Audi I go. Also somehow in the process of removing the wiring harness for the injectors one of the clips shoots off never to be seen again.
Following day collect bits from audi and the clip from local scrap dealer. Jobs a gooden.
Fit seals, clip then reassemble everything else.
Fire up and sound like crap.
Obvious vacuum leak grrr. Say fook it and leave for the day.
So today take inlet manifold off again, give another polish up lol, then remove pcv. Notice a tear in one of the rubber hoses so luckily I bought a set of lower breather hoses a while ago so out they come to save the day.
Put it all back together and grrrr one of the metal pipes from the pcv snapps as it's so brittle.
By this time I have the inlet manifold back ok and I really can't be arsed to take it back off again so I actually managed to remove the pcv without removing the inlet like a boss
Repair the broken pipe with a inline pipe, jubilee clips and self amalgamating tape.
Put it back in still without removing inlet and sweet works a treat
Still a very slight vacuum leak but I'll order a pcv system this week.
