Nils Hult Hi Peter. That’s fantastic, well done. What did you personally need to remove in order to get them out? Did you do it with the subframe on the car? I’m glad you found the video useful 👍🏼

Ricks Garage I had already removed the subframe because i wanted to sandblast and paint it, i also have a Torsen which i’.m about to fit and when the rear manifold is off i might as well remove the starter motor bolts so i can take out the gearbox and do the clutch. Anyway many thanks for your excellet videos. Cheers

Welsh Alfa Fan thank you Sir 👍🏼. Yes it should be pretty much the same

handyandy71 excellent work! Well done. Did you need to remove anything out of the way like the driveshaft?

Hello handyandy71. Would you be able to elaborate on your process? I’m just about to do this and would love your advice. Cheers.

@@nicko98R Get the car quite high plenty of work underneath make things easier.Disconnect your BATTERY! Remove the radiator fans to allow the engine to move forward. Remove offside driveshaft front exhaust section oil filter. Support the engine with a trolley jack and wood.Remove top engine steady. Slacken both front engine mountings. You should be able to move the engine forward and get the manifold out. Take your time slacken all manifold nuts while the engine is fully supported by its mountings leaving some on finger tight. Hope that helps. I managed to do it all in a weekend

@@_RicksGarageYes Rik I removed the radiator fans to allow the engine to move forward....driveshaft has to come

handyandy71 thank you so much for your description! A great help when I attempt I’m sure. May I ask why the driveshaft needs to be removed if manifold is removed from above? Cheers

donatello lei I have nothing planned for Audio in the near future but it may be something I will consider once the project is complete

Ricks Garage Thnx for the fast response! Love your videos , they’re very clear! Maybe a vid about the brembo brake conversion ? Haven’t seen one anywhere. I have a Gtv 2.0 T.S and would like to get brembo brakes too. Keep up the good work. 👌🏼

Rich Gee unfortunately the heat shield covers the Lambda making it inaccessible. It isn’t the most well thought out design is it! Complete removal may be the only option. I’d get on the phone to a couple of specialist to confirm this.

You can do it in situ. You need a crowsfoot(offset) socket and you'll need to tilt engine forwards by removing the reaction rod and one of the front engine mounts and the fan assembly

Leo M that’s fantastic and much appreciated Sir. I didn’t know about these so thank you 👍🏼👍🏼

The lambda sensors are still in place. 1 in the front manifold and 1 in the rear downpipe.

@@_RicksGarage but then we get errors on the catalyst. they also need to be programmatically removed.

@@user-hb2pi9rc9j Only in rare cases should you have issue. It should be fine. My car has since been remapped taking into consideration then the pre-cats have been removed but it was totally fine before. No issue up to now

If you get errors, swap the post manifold lambda sensors connectors. Post manifold is for checking cat operation, so will flag if same as upstream. And yes they are also used to fine tune long term fuel trims
