How To Remove Oil Pipe That Crosses Over Coil Packs

[Cam84]

Hi guys

Just wondering what is the easyest way to remove the pipe so i can get to the coil packs? is it just a matter of ripping it off, or is there a trick to it.

cheers

Oil pipe?

You mean the intake J pipe? Just undo the hose clamps at the TB, and at the other end, undo the clamps on the bov, disconnect the various vac hoses attached to it, undo the two bolts and pull off.

No tricks, just do it.

Are you referring to the pipes for crankcase ventilation ? Bit tricky if they havent been changed before as they are generally hard as a rock and brittle by now. More than likely you will end up destroying them getting it off.Nothing some new rubber hose cant repace

If you want to save time you can unscrew the cover and slide it out without taking the hard pipe off. This will give you enough room to pull plugs on all 6 coilpacks to diagnose the fault. If your lucky like me the dead one will be one of 4 (out of the 6) that you can pull out like this.

Oooh oil pipe... the breather that connects the cam covers together! didnt think of that.

Just slide the clamps off and pull. It will just pop off.

I highly doubt they will break too.
