[Mk2] [NA] Removing Rev 3 inlet manifold....

[Nik_L]

Started to strip down my spare engine for parts before the car goes to be scrapped but i can't seem to get the inlet manifold off.

Ive removed some bolts from around the manifold and the 3 allen key headed studs from inside the inlet itself, but can't see what else needs to be removed. It feels loose and ready to come off, but only lifts up about 2mm then i can't get it any further, so im assuming something must be stopping it.

Any idea's or guides on what all needs to be removed.

Cheers, Nik.

Have you removed the earthstrap and wiring which is clipped underneath?
