Technical Timing belt skipping teeths after proper service?!

Technical Timing belt skipping teeths after proper service?!

Thanks Jack, for your effort helping me with this one, I really appreciate it!

Yeah, I am constantly checking eLearn's user manual, and there is a description for accessing injectors -> so we need to remove straightforward bits and bobs (coils n stuff), then throttle body, oil dipstick pipe, then sleeves connecting air capacity box to inlet manifold, then complete air chamber, then last step is "single fuel manifold with injectors", but it still looks a bit confusing to me.

I started to remove everything related to air chamber, although I didn't touch TB, because I don't want to make something wrong with that thing... So big plastic air chamber is still in its place, and now is dark outside, so I abandoned the car. :)

Maybe tomorrow, or at the weekend I will try to continue disassembling that dingleberry, in the hope of accessing injectors.

Thanks once more.
 
Ok, big plastic air chamber disassembled (sorta), now finally I can see the injector's cable and the single fuel manifold - at least some of it.

My question is the following: is it even possible to get access to the fuel rail and that's why to the injectors, without removing the big stainless steel inlet manifold? The whole thing (fuel rail+injectors) sits inside of that, and for me it looks like that there is hardly any space for doing anything useful down there. I tried to disconnect the injector's connector cylinder 4, but it looked like an impossible task.

If I really have to take off that huge inlet manifold, then how to do that? There are at least 3 bolts and 4 nuts and again there is also hardly any space left between the cooler+fan and that manifold. I really don't want to take off my cooler and/or the whole front of the car as well for this job, that's for sure. :mad:

eLearn only tells us the following: "Disconnect the injector wiring coupling, then undo the bolts (2a) and remove single fuel manifold (2b), complete with injectors (2c)." ?!?!?!
 
Can you unbolt the fuel rail and lift it out with injectors attached?
Post a few pictures.
Do resistance check on injector wires again at connector closet to injectors.
 
I googled images of your inlet manifold.
It looks like there are 10 nuts and bolts holding metal inlet manifold to cylinder head.
 
This morning I discovered two T30 size torx screws on the fuel rail, and I think I will have enough space for loosen those and eLearn only shows those 2 as well, so... Finally freeing up fuel rail + injectors - here I come (fingers crossed).
