#1: Removing intake manifold and throttle body [gti 180] Author: existenz, Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:03 pm ---- Hi everyone,
I'm about to remove the intake manifold and throttle body to clean and paint them.
I want to remove all bolts of the intake manifold and pull it out without removing/moving the radiator. So I'd like to know if this is possible this way and what is the cleanest method to remove the injectors?
Thank you

And in regards to the injectors disconnect the fuel line, and don't tip it the wrong way before you can get it over a container to drain it.

How much ml of fuel can I expect comming out of the line? I read removing the fuse of the fuel pump with a running engine will avoid any leaking.

Get a cloth to capture any spillage when the hose is removed from the fuel rail.
It might be easier to access some of the bolts from underneath the car.

#8: Re: Removing intake manifold and throttle body [gti 180] Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Jul 11, 2015 2:01 am ---- Should be easy with the right torx socket. Mine come out easily.
#9: Re: Removing intake manifold and throttle body [gti 180] Author: existenz, Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2015 4:54 am ---- I'm covered with tools. Should be no problem.
Thx !
#10: Re: Removing intake manifold and throttle body [gti 180] Author: existenz, Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2015 7:59 am ---- Throttle body is removed and the intake manifold is loose, but I still can't remove it. Still attached to some wires/hoses. Got to look from underneath the car.
#11: Re: Removing intake manifold and throttle body [gti 180] Author: existenz, Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2015 1:09 pm ---- Was still attached to that oil hose... and it was really difficult to get the manifold out, especially with my aftermarket radiator.
But it's out - yay
