AUM 1.8t - Removing exhaust manifold
« on: 08 December 2013, 19:49 »
I've had a cracked manifold for a while and finally decided to get off my arse & strip it down today. I've dropped the exhaust and unbolted everything up top but I need to drop the turbo down to get at the bolts under the manifold. The problem that I'm having is with the 2 torq bolts that bolt the turbo bracket to the block! its impossibly tight and I can't get anything straight on due to the drive shaft. I just wanted to know if its possible to do without dropping the shaft out of the way and how you do it if it is possible?

Thanks for any advice anyone can offer
