Well I decided to start getting ready for the 16T to go into the Volvo today to replace the 15G.
I think starting at half two was a bad idea but hey I have started now. Firstly let me say smithness you were 100% right the heatshields are an absolute pain in the arse to remove. It took the best part of an hour to remove them, well I say remove them I only managed to take the heatshield covering the turbo off the other is just pushed out the way. I know now I want some wratchet spanners for christmas!
After this thought ill start from the bottom of the car and work up so jack and axle stands to remove lower downpipe bolt, two lower manifold connection bolts and turbo return pipe. Got all of this done bar one of the manifold bolts as somehow I decided the best thing to do was tighten it rather than loosen it!
Ran out of light after this
Hopefully get the rest undone and 16T fitted in place tomorrow
Wish me luck!
