Title: intake manifold
Post by: raywilb on 17 March 2016, 09:49:26

 a friend & I are going to attempt to remove & clean complete intake manifold on my 2.2dti this coming Tuesday. neither of us has done this before so its a case of the proverbial " blind leading the blind" . I already have the two manifold gaskets so my question is. " is their anything else needed apart from cleaning products. torque info also would be helpful.  :y

Yes, you need the ability to bleed the injector setup without cranking the engine excessively  :y

that frightens me. ive managed to get rid of an eml issue by cleaning & renewing an egr valve , systematically checking vac pipes etc. A pump issue would really p me off.

Can this be done like a petrol,  so disconnecting the fuel pump and starting the car till it dies then de-pressurise the fuel rail?

No. Fuel Pump is mechanical and the EDC is cooled by the diesel it's pumping!
