Good day sir. Do you have a video on how to remove the intake manifold of a polo 6. My heater valve needs to be replaced. It sits under the intake manifold.

Can those cotters be purchased? I bought a head thats been taken apart and i did not find the cotters for the valves

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Best bet is a scrap yard, Gary

[@garyjones7613]

Fortunately for me,a colleague of mine had a head laying around so i am sorted

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Great, I am glad you are sorted, Gary

[@LionOfJudah-JesusChrist]

Hi sir.. Do you have to remove the cam shaft in order to replace the lifters?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Unfortunately yes.

[@LionOfJudah-JesusChrist]

@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 thank you sir...

[@nikoabednego1734]

What's are Symptoms of bent valve

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

The engine will misfire when running. If more than one valve is bent, it may not start due to a loss of compression when valves are bent.

[@nutlange6910]

Gary, how would one detemine if the valve guide are still ok, meaning not damaged ??

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hey Nico a simple way is to remove the valve spring and take the valve stem and wiggle it in the guide, if there is excessive play then it needs replacement, best to have an engineering shop give it an inspection.
