Any more tips on how to yank the ******* off? I know for sure that everything has been disconnected apart from the pipes along the back. Unless I should really do those too. The passenger side of the plenum is pretty loose and is moving quite a bit, though how ever the driver's side isnt soo loose and is a ******* to move.

 

So, any one wanna help me a bit more!? The car's been off road for a week now. :cry:

A week?? my cars been off the raod since i bought it, about 4 months ago!!

 

Not sure what else there is to take off, try wiggling it a bit more, it might just need a bit more of a kick up the ass to come off.

I'm trying! At the rate I'm going I'll prob bend the breaker bar I'm using to try wrench that ******* off! Someone has to have some idea, mostly wanna know what else you people who's removed the thing before did. Cant be that hard to pull the g!t off can it?

Been through all the guides and I'm pretty much 100% sure I've taken everything that is actually holding it down. It's just annoying that it doesnt just lift like it's suppose to! Blah, guess I can only try and try and try again!

Have you taken the coilpacks out? :rofl:

at the back of the plenium, there are some 10mm nuts holding it, and electrical conections but to get to these you need to nearly undo every breather pipe or fuel line. trust me, i know the agro your having, its not easy. ive now got a box of bolts, i havent got a clue where they go. And i havent even got the enigine out yet. best of luck.

I've got a box full of nuts now where I aint 100% sure where they go. I guess I'll just have to pull out everything I think that is connected to it and pray in god that I know how to put it back together once I'm done!

 

try a bigger hammer
Can't afford a bigger hammer yet :rofl:

Probably the EGR tube stuck in the plenum?

Want one of these? ;) :rofl:

:eek: Sorry????

just make sure you have disconnected the pipes from the EGR, the PCV valves and vacuum pipes to the turbos, and of course the various water pipes that go under the plenum. Apart from the fuel rail earth lead there is not much else to disconnect although there are various vacuum pipes that attach to it. If it moves about, side to side, then it has to be a pipe underneath still attached.

i do lol

 

with your perverted imagination u can buff your own up :rofl: :rofl:

Been through all the guides and I did come across a screw which wasnt mentioned that was bolted down. I'm more then 100% sure that I've done everything!
