Fiddling around the back of the inlet manifold and I broke a connector that plugs into the back of it.
It's the 1.4 8v engine.
I need to replace the inlet manifold. Can I safely remove the old one and just replace it?
Is there anything I need to do before disconnecting the old one? Do I need to do the replacement immediately or is there a risk of dust and stuff getting in?
Sorry in a bit of rush, hope it makes sense.
Also, can I replace with a version from another model/engine?
Thanks.

What you actually broke of?

The bit that broke is a connector at the back of it. I'm not sure what it is, it's either a sensor or something.
Injectors?
Is it on the throttle body?
No it's not the throttle body. The plastic bit after it. There is a plastic bit that has a molded pipe connected to it. The plastic bit that the cable connects to broke.
if you remove the inlet manifold from the head then the gasket must be replaced else it will leak.
Really? F*ck! So I need to buy a new gasket and a inlet manifold.

#11: Re: Oops... Broke inlet manifold Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 6:19 am ---- Yeh ive got that feeling to

Yes, that's the word I was looking for. It's a stub but it's not the breather one that is connected to the filter, it's one at the back.

You wont be going anywhere, you have no brakes now
#15: Re: Oops... Broke inlet manifold Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 6:37 am ---- The stub that broke was behind where my finger is pointing:
BTW i think yours is 16v not 8 mate (as 8v dont have electronic throttle)

The newer ones do

You will need a heavy push on the brake pedal to get the car to stop
So I just need to buy a replacement inlet manifold and a replacement gasket.
Looking on the bay, there are some variations - some from different years. Will any of these fit?
I'm hoping to get one that has that stub in a different place, so it doesn't get in the way.
Pre 2000 will not fit
Ports are: 00-00
Yours are: 0-0-0-0
16 valve will not fit unfortunatly
Im not sure if your throttle body will fit cable operated ones, but it may just look at the hole alignment before purchasing mate
Thanks Addaz. Just looking at the bay.
#25: Re: Oops... Broke inlet manifold Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 2:43 pm ---- So can I just go ahead and remove the inlet manifold and leave it off the car until I get the replacement one?
Or is it best to remove it and fit the new one at the same time?
Will it let in dust and stuff if I leave it off?
#26: Re: Oops... Broke inlet manifold Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 2:57 pm ---- No harm in leaving it off mate, but may be wise to leave it on till you get a replacement mate

Thanks.
Just trying to find one that will fit, but has the stub somewhere else. But the ones on ebay don't show both sides
I might just take a gamble on one that looks similar.
#28: Re: Oops... Broke inlet manifold Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:33 am ---- Right, if that stub that broke is for the brake master cylinder air feed, can I replace the molded tubing with some silicone hose?
Basically, the reason it broke was because it got in the way, so I was thinking of cutting it down or heating it up and bending it to the right a bit and then use some silicone hosing instead.
Would that work?

#30: Re: Oops... Broke inlet manifold Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:31 pm ---- Use Service Box and give them the part numbers then, they will stop being funny then

I tried service box, but wasn't sure about a few things
There's a few 1.4's in the list, so I wasn't sure which one was mine.
