When the intake manifold is removed, plug
each of the cylinder head intake openings
with lint free cloth, to stop the entry of foreign
material into the intake ports.

21

Remove the upper and lower intake manifold assembly from the engine.

22

Remove lower intake manifold to cylinder head gasket.

Disassemble

1

Disconnect the EVAP hose (1) from the upper intake
manifold (2).

2

Remove the bolts (3) (70 mm long) attaching the
upper intake manifold to the lower intake manifold (4).

N O T E

These bolts are located at the front left and rear
right of the upper intake manifold, as shown.

3

Remove the upper intake manifold from the lower
intake manifold.

4

Remove and discard the upper to lower intake
manifold gaskets.

Do not reuse the upper to lower intake
manifold gaskets (5).

5

Remove the EVAP hose from the retaining clip (6)
attached to the lower intake manifold.

6

Remove the following from the upper intake manifold,
refer to

Section 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 –

Service Operations

:

•

BARO Sensor and

•

Throttle Body assembly

Figure 6A1 – 52

7

Remove the fuel rail and injector assembly. Refer to

Section 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service
Operations

.

The following precautions must be followed
when removing the fuel rail and injector
assembly:
•

Care must be taken when removing the
fuel rail and injector assembly to
prevent damage to the injector spray
tips and injector harness connector
terminals.

•

Support the fuel rail and injector
assembly after removal.

•

Plug all fuel line and manifold openings
after removal to prevent dirt and other
contaminants from entering the fuel
system.

Clean

CAUTION

Due to the aluminium alloy construction of
the intake manifold, wire brushes and steel
scrapers must not be used during the
cleaning process, as damage to sealing
surfaces may occur. Use of a wooden or
plastic scraper is preferred.

1

Clean mating surfaces ensuring any gasket material is removed.

2

Clean the manifold using a suitable solvent

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.

3

Dry the timing components with compressed air.

Inspect

1

Inspect the intake manifold for the following fault conditions:
•

Damaged sealing and mating surfaces.

•

Damaged lower intake manifold gasket.

•

Damage or excessive debris on the threaded and through holes.

•

Cracks or damage to the intake manifold body.

N O T E

If the lower intake manifold is cracked or
damaged, it must be replaced. No welding or
patching of the intake manifold should be
performed.

2

Place a straight edge (1) across the upper intake
manifold sealing surface (2).

3

Using a feeler gauge (3), measure the clearance
between the manifold and the straight edge.

4

If the clearance between the upper intake manifold
sealing surface and the straight edge exceeds the
specified maximum warpage, replace the manifold.

sealing surface and the straight edge exceeds the
specified maximum warpage, replace the manifold.

Reassemble

Reassembly of the upper to lower intake manifold is the reverse of the disassembly procedure noting the following:

1

Ensure that both the manifolds have been cleaned and inspected.

2

Ensure that the warpage of the mating surfaces is within tolerances.

3

New upper to lower intake manifold gaskets must be used.

4

Do not tighten the intake manifold to lower intake manifold attaching bolt at this stage. The intake manifold
attaching bolts must be tightened at the specified sequence during the reinstallation procedure.

Reinstall

Reinstallation of the upper intake manifold and the upper and lower intake manifold assembly is the reverse of the
removal procedure, noting the following:

1

Install the EVAP hose to the clip attached to the lower intake manifold.

2

Only new gaskets are to be fitted between the upper and lower intake manifolds.

3

If undamaged, the lower intake manifold to cylinder head gasket may be re-used, however its replacement is
strongly recommended.

CAUTION

Tighten the intake manifold bolts in a circular
pattern starting at the centre bolt and moving
outward.

4

Ensure that all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specification.

Upper intake manifold to lower intake
manifold attaching bolt torque specification . ...23.0 Nm

head attaching bolt torque specification. . . .23.0 Nm

Lower intake manifold to cylinder

Incorrect wiring connector installation may
cause component malfunction or component
damage.

5

Ensure all wiring connectors are fully engaged and if applicable, locked in place.

6

Ensure all wiring harnesses are correctly routed and attached securely in their retaining clips.

7

Ensure that all hoses and pipes are routed correctly and that any retaining clips are correctly installed.

8

After installation pull on any quick connect fittings to check that each is correctly installed.

9

Start and run the engine to check for correct operation.
