Removal of intake manifold Audi S8 VFL

Question

Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the intake manifold on the S8 1998 VFL?

Answer 1

I think this intake manifold will be the same for almost all engines, except for a few minor differences and maybe Details. Otherwise it's just screwing. You will have to use some gentle force when lifting off, as the seals on the heads are mostly baked.

Answer 2

Take off straight up, ideally in pairs, otherwise the centering pins will break off and parts of them will fall into the motor. Plastic is not magnetic ;-)

Otherwise loosen the few screws, first all plugs and hoses, and out of the bucket.

New seals and centering pins are required.
