Hi all,
Anyone know what size the bolts are that hold the manifold heatshield in place on the 1.6 16v engine?
I only have 2/4 bolts holding it on and its rattling.
I assume I can't just take it off...
Taa!

I think its used to reduce the chance of the manifold cracking by disapating water that hits it. The bolts are m6x1.0 if i remember correctly. Genuine wouldnt be expensive tbh

Hmm. So how would one go about getting this off?
Seems a bit.... tight.
