Intake Manifold Removal LDK

Caution: Never attempt to remove the intake manifold from a hot engine, allow the engine to cool to ambient temperature. The intake manifold is made of a composite plastic and can be damaged if it is removed when the engine is hot.

Note: The charger AIR bypass tube assembly connected from the charger AIR bypass valve solenoid to the charger AIR bypass valve tank assembly is permanently attached to the tank assembly. Do not attempt to disconnect the charger AIR bypass tube assembly at the charger AIR bypass valve tank assembly.

1. Disconnect the charger AIR bypass tube with the retaining clip from the charger AIR bypass valve tank assembly.
2. Disconnect the remaining charger AIR bypass tubes at the turbocharger and vehicle.
3. Remove the charger AIR bypass valve solenoid bolts.
4. Remove the charger AIR bypass valve solenoid (1).



5. Disconnect the charger AIR bypass tube assembly (3) from the intake manifold.
6. Remove the charger AIR bypass valve tank assembly nut (2).

Note: The charger AIR bypass bolt is captured on the bracket and should not be removed from the bracket. Loosen the bolt only until it is no longer attached to the block when removing the charger AIR bypass valve tank assembly.
