Hi.

The crap never ends.

The intake manifold is detached and the cylinder... (away from the transmission, so number 1??), is covered in grime.

It looks like it's going to take a really long time now, because if I've already taken everything apart, I probably have to replace the gasket too, otherwise my head might end up catching fire eventually.

Does the turbo need to be removed from the crankshaft?
I suspect that's the case, because otherwise you can't get to the screw on cylinder 2, as the turbo fresh air outlet pipe is in the way. icon_evil.gif icon_evil.gif icon_evil.gif

I should have left it alone icon_smile.gif.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.
Transparency, Teamwork
... there was another T.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Hi!!!
So, the job isn't that bad.
I once installed them on my new [device/item], without using the included accessories.
to dismantle it. And in the process, I even had to re-tap a thread icon_sad.gif.
But whatever...
Exhaust system removed. Screws loosened. I hope this helps you.
It's just a little bit involved. And the rest, you probably already know.
Definitely replace the studs and copper nuts.
Gut.. Stehbolzen muss du schauen, wie die aussehn. I'm currently building something.
Always use copper grease with those things to prevent them from seizing up.
It works perfectly for me.

Regards, Acid.
