Oil deposits under inlet manifold/low vacuum

Just release the metal tray thing gives you ample room to get in there.

IIRc around £20 rings a bell for some reason.

If I can. The screws have buggered up after a previous attempt to take it off.

 

[LEE69]

Shouldn't be too tight, try to hammer a torx bit in or tap them aound.

 

[Trublu07]

I mean the two screws on the plastic plate that go vertically down. Wd40 wouldn't loosen them and the + on the screws is now more like a o lol.

 

[LEE69]

Ah right decent mole grip?
Dremel off the sides of the nuts?

 

[Trublu07]

The nuts sit flush so a dremmel won't work. I have no idea what molegrips do but will have a look lol

The pincers on those look too fat to get in the hole lol. Might still get a set tho. I am sure I have seen a screw remover tool somewhere before. Looks like a drill bit. Thanks anyway dude.

Mole grips should fit. The screw is "welded" to the plate so it doesn't turn to tighten/undo.

would this cause the check dump valve fault on vag com?

 

[Trublu07]

If it's welded would I use the mole grips to yank at them then?

yes it's a leak

You lock them to the rounded nut then undo it.....hopefully.
Soak them in plus gas similar to wd40 but better.

 

[robertbadlad]

still a bit unclear on what needs blocking off.

For a catch can?
Or you replacing this valve?

 

[robertbadlad]

catch can. is there any cars i could get one off as standard from scrap yard?

 

[LEE69]

Just follow a guide to fit one, not done mine yet.
Not sure any car ever came with one standard tbh.

 

[Trublu07]

I have had another go with a set of mole grips. They were too wide. The plastic covering the screw is now chipped off and the + on the head of the screw is buggered. The nut on the underside of the screw is welded onto the metal. I'm out of ideas now. Will a garage be able to get the damn thing off?

 

[LEE69]

Hacksaw/dremel them off all they do is hold the SAI pipe in place, then redrill the hole or get a replacement plate.

 

[LEE69]

You are trying to undo where the red dots are, yes?

 

[Trublu07]

Nope I am trying to get the bloody plastic cover that hides that off. I wish I was that far into it.
