Great vid, taking my inlet off to access a rounded downpipe nut and might as well give it a good clean while it’s off, how long do you think it too start to finish?
Can you remember which way round you put the intake manifold gasket? There’s one side of the gasket with the raised bit and the other side is flat? Which side mates up against the block? I’m doing mine atm and don’t wanna get it wrong haha. Thanks
Got told by a mechanic friend that it doesn’t matter which way round the gasket goes. I put mine with the bump facing the block…I just tightened the bolts equally with Allen keys. As long as the manifold surface is clean (no old gasket still on there, got mine off with wire wool) and the manifold is on secure there shouldn’t be a leak, did you fit a new gasket? I wouldn’t put silicone on it tho 👍
On the left side is a black box. Why is this closed with some tubes? (sorry for my english i am from germany) and i also have an Ibiza Cupra. 😁 Nice videos by the way.
@@CarGuyLife yeah that's true, I see you did EGR delete as well, any noticeable difference there? I have A4 B6 1.9 PD quattro sport, fellow Scot doon in sunny Ayrshire 👍
@@CarGuyLife I kicked my tool box once after struggling with a normally easy job that turned in to a nightmare because of a rusty bolt and broke my big toe doing so , what’s worse is rage quits on gaming iv broken so many controllers because of campers ADHD has cost me a lot of money lol 😂
what a nice engine we got a 2010 fabia with the 1.9 lovely engine
Ace video! Looks like it's not too hard to get out. Cute part is the bit where you're spattered with all the crap from inside the manifold! hahaha

Made this video as long ago unfortunately i can't remember apologies
Ah no worries, got it all fitted last night. Thanks for replying. Your Ibiza looks sick btw!👌
@@kevg2476which way did you fit it ,do you remember?
I'm having an issue with leak after cleaning and assembling it. Should I use silicone as well ?

Its a oil catch can 😊 thank you
Did it make much difference? I need to do mine at some point. Might buy another inlet and let it steep in petrol for a month 🤣
Didn't notice any but will improve airflow slightly if there has been large amount of carbon build up removed

Did it drive any better after this was done?
Yup definitely especially because the carbon build up on my intake was bad
Hi , what size are the allen bolts of the manifold ? .
I am not sure was long time since i filmed this video apologies
6mm
Just use mr muscle oven cleaner then you wouldn’t ruin your drive with carbon oil and crap.
Bro got some anger issues 😂
Yup 🥴🤣✌️
@ I’m the same when it comes to cars even more annoying when u got ADHD 👍
@@The_rifter24 yup i got that too
