Hi there my exhaust manifold is blowing and I was wondering how easy it is to do? Can I just loosen the manifold bolts and pull the manifold forward? Or do I have to remove it from the turbo? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

 

You can just undo the bolts holding the manifold to the head and pull the turbo forward off the stugs to replace the gasket. You might be better off putting a piece of cardboard on the radiator though to stop damaging it.

 

As above But use a genuine gasket.

dropping the exhaust down pipe off will also help

 

Great have got a genuine gasket so basically should be able just to take nuts off studs pull it forward carefully and pop new one on? Thanks for your help
