Hi All, here are some pics of my old Octavia when I stripped down the inlet manifold to clean out all of the gung built up inside, as you can see its worth doing ! cheers - Stuart

Did you take the inlet manifold off or just the EGR valve?

If you did how easy was it to get off? I'm planning on doing this at some point and all the bolts for the inlet manifold seem to be a bit tricky to get at.

Hi Mate, I managed to remove the inlet manifold (stuggled) as there is a fair amount of gunk inside it as well as the inlet bits and pieces, but its worth doing. cheers - Stuart.

Hey - is there a guide on this with pics anywhere? Not sure where it is or how to clean it!

Yea, i need to do mine too, any advice or guidance would be appreciated. thanks, merryn.

Hi Lads, Its at the back of the engine around the throttle housing, I will see if I took any wider pictures to narrow it down for you. cheers - Stuart

Here's a wider shot -

Unfortunatey I don't have the car anymore, it was just a case of removing all the bits attached to the inlet manifold,some of the bolts holding it at the back are hard to get too so good luck. cheers - Stuart
