Solved: How to replace Intake Manifold in Audi and VW car models?

If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

The procedure is as Follows :-----

Intake Manifold

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
1990-97 Passat Models

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the air duct from the throttle valve body and disconnect the accelerator cable.

On 2.0L ABA engines, remove the idle stabilizer valve, fuel pump pressure switch and the fuel injector wiring harness. Disconnect the fuel supply and return lines.

On 2.0L 9A engines with CIS-E fuel injection systems, remove the auxiliary air regulator. Remove the fuel injectors and the cold start valve without disconnecting the fuel lines.

Label and disconnect the vacuum hoses as required.

Label and disconnect any remaining wiring as required.

If equipped, disconnect the EGR pipe.

On 2.0L 9A and VR6 engines, remove the bolts to remove the upper intake manifold.

Remove the bolts and remove the manifold from the cylinder head.

To install:

On 2.0L 9A and VR6 engines

Install the lower intake manifold to the cylinder head with a new gasket. Torque the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).

On 2.0L ABA and VR6 engines, if the fuel rail and injectors were removed, examine the injector O-rings and replace if damaged, brittle or cracked. Lubricate the O-rings with a light coating of fresh engine oil, then install the injectors and if removed the fuel rail.

Use new gaskets and fit the manifold or the upper manifold in place. Torque the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).

On 2.0L 9A engines, if the fuel injectors were not removed, connect fuel system hoses.

On 2.0L 9A and ABA engines, if the injectors were removed, examine the injector O-rings and replace if damaged, brittle or cracked. Lubricate the O-rings with a light coating of fresh engine oil, then install the injectors and on ABA engines, if removed the fuel rail.

Connect all vacuum hoses and wiring.

If equipped with EGR, connect the EGR pipe.

Connect and adjust the throttle cable as required.

Install the remaining components and run the engine to check idle speed and ignition timing.

Check and clear any existing fault codes as necessary.

A4 & 1998-00 Passat Models
1.8L Engine

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF , then disconnect the negative battery cable.

Remove the engine covers.

Drain the engine coolant into a sealable container.

Disconnect the hose for the Leak Detection Pump (LDP).

Disconnect the accelerator pedal cable from the throttle valve control module.

Remove the air guide hose from the throttle valve control module.

Disconnect the vacuum line from the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) canister.

Detach the brake booster vacuum hose.

Disconnect the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor and the throttle valve control module.

Detach the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor wiring harness connector.

Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.

Disconnect the fuel rail with the injectors and position it aside in the engine compartment on a clean cloth.

Disconnect the coolant hoses attached to the intake manifold.

Disconnect the crankcase breather hose at the intake manifold.

Remove the intake manifold brace and the oil dipstick.

Unbolt the manifold at the mounting flange, then remove.

Stuff clean shop rags into the cylinder head ports to prevent debris from entering the engine.

Clean all gasket surfaces of any old gasket material.

To install:

Remove the rags from the cylinder head ports.

Install the intake manifold with new gaskets and tighten the mounting fasteners to 84 inch lbs. (10 Nm).

Connect the manifold brace and tighten the bracket mounting bolts to 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).

Install the dipstick.

Connect the crankcase breather and coolant hoses to the intake manifold.

Replace the fuel injector sealing O-rings, lubricate the O-rings with a light coating of fresh engine oil, then install the fuel rail with the injectors and tighten the retaining bolts to 88 inch lbs. (10 Nm).

Connect the CMP and the IAT sensors to the throttle valve control module.

Connect the brake booster and EVAP canister vacuum hoses.

Connect the air guide hose and the accelerator pedal cable to the throttle valve control module.

Connect the hose for the LDP.

Top off the engine coolant and bleed as necessary.

Reconnect the negative battery cable.

Fully close all power windows to stop, operate all window switches for at least 1 second in the close direction to activate the 1-touch opening/closing function.

Check the oil level before starting the engine, and top off as necessary.

Enter the radio security code.

Set the clock to the correct time.

NOTE

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be stored when harness connectors are detached.

Read the DTCs and clear the fault codes.

A4 & 1998-00 Passat Models
2.8L V6 Engine

Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.

Disconnect the fuel supply and return lines.

Detach the fuel injector electrical connectors and the retainers for the fuel injectors.

Remove the fuel pressure regulator clamp, then the regulator.

Unbolt and remove the fuel manifold, then the injectors.

Label and detach any hoses or connectors associated with the intake manifold.

Remove the upper intake manifold mounting bolts, then the manifold and gasket.

Remove the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.

Disconnect the EGR valve.

Disconnect the accelerator cable form the throttle body.

Remove the lower intake manifold mounting bolts, then the manifold.

Clean all gasket mating surfaces of old gasket material.

Place shop rag in the cylinder head openings to prevent dirt and debris from entering the open port.
