I'm in the process of changing an inlet manifold in its entirety along with fuel rail and injectors as the car runs as rough as anything, in fact it barely even runs. MES throws up "inlet manifold air seepage" and "pressure sensor value" errors.
I've changed the MAP sensor and the vacuum sensor but no difference whatsoever. General consensus is an air leak somewhere within the plastic housing of the inlet manifold so I'm changing the entire thing.
I've come up against a hurdle with a nut. The nut in the picture won't undo. You have limited space, so only a spanner will go on. I'm sure it turned a smidge but now I cannot get the spanner on it. A socket isn't deep enough because of the stud and a long reach is too long. I can't get to it from the side, and I dont think underneath will be any use either.
I've ordered all sorts of funky spanners on Amazon tonight but short of taking a saw to the manifold and cutting the plastic to give me more room I'm out of ideas.
Anyone got any ideas how I might get this undone.
