Inlet manifold removal and cleaning

Postby doeboy » Tue Mar 04, 2014 7:25 pm

Hi all
Just looking for some advice or tips on removing the inlet manifold, I want to give it a good clean, I've ordered the egr delete plate and will be getting a remap done soon, I've a 2006 mk6 90ps 2.4 with I think the bigger egr valve.

Cheers in advance

Steve
