13 Disconnect the EVAP valve outlet tube (1) from the
intake manifold (2).
14 Remove the four long (3) (165 mm long) and two short bolts (4) (70 mm long) attaching the upper intake
manifold (2) to the cylinder heads and lower intake
manifold.
15 Lift the upper intake manifold (2) clear from the lower half and then remove the upper intake manifold from
the engine.
16 Remove and discard the upper to lower intake manifold gaskets (5).


• When the upper intake manifold is
removed, plug each of the lower intake
runner openings with lint free cloth, to
stop the entry of foreign material into the
engine.
• Do not reuse the upper to lower intake
manifold gaskets (5).

17 Remove the upper and lower intake manifold assembly from the engine.
18 Remove lower intake manifold to cylinder head gasket.
Disassemble
Remove the following from the upper intake manifold, refer to 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations:
• BARO sensor and
• Throttle body assembly.
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:

CAUTION
Tighten the intake manifold bolts in a circular
pattern starting at the centre bolt and moving
outward.
2 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
Upper intake manifold to
cylinder head attaching bolt
torque specification ............................................23.0 Nm

Incorrect wiring connector installation may
cause component malfunction or component
damage.
3 Ensure all wiring connectors are fully engaged and if applicable, locked in place.
4 Ensure all wiring harnesses are correctly routed and attached securely in their retaining clips.
5 Ensure that all hoses and pipes are routed correctly and that any retaining clips are correctly installed.
6 Start and run the engine to check for correct operation.
3.10 Intake Manifold Assembly – Complete
The intake manifold comprises of an upper and lower section. Some service procedures only require the removal of the
upper intake manifold (e.g. fuel injector/spark plug servicing), while other service procedures require the removal of both
the upper and lower manifold as a complete assembly (e.g. cylinder head/s). If only the upper intake manifold needs to
be removed, refer to 3.9 Upper Intake Manifold.
Remove

Disconnection of the battery affects certain
vehicle electronic systems. Refer to 1.1
WARNING, CAUTION and NOTES before
disconnecting the battery.
1 Depressurise the fuel system.
2 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

4 Retract the throttle body wiring connector lock (3).
5 W hile pressing the connector latch in the direction of the arrow (4), disconnect the throttle body wiring
connector.
6 Disconnect the throttle body connector wiring harness from its retaining clip (5).
7 Remove the main wiring harness retainer pin (6) from the intake manifold by pushing from the front to the
rear using a suitable piece of 5 mm steel rod (or an
Allen key).

The following precautions must be followed
when disconnecting the throttle body wiring
connector:
• Do not use any mechanical device such
as a screwdriver to disengage the
harness connector (1) from the throttle
body (2).
• When retracting the throttle wiring
connector lock (3), take care not to
disengage the lock from the connector.
• Do not pull on the connector wires.
• Take care not to break the barbed
harness retainer pin (6) while removing
the harness retainer from the intake
manifold.
• Should the pin be broken, then it is vital
that a new harness retainer is fitted to the
wiring harness shield. If not, the harness
will foul the engine drive belt.

7 Remove the fuel rail and injector assembly. Refer to
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.
