marco24v · Apr 7th, 2016, 21:21

Hi all. Does anyone know how to decoke their 1.8 gdi engine. Is there a way to get the manifold of from underneath the car? the top of the engine looks straight forward. Any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks marc

Thanks. I don't suppose you have any experience of doing this yourself

Yeah it is a pig, took about 4 hrs and there are some hard to see bolts but following the link is the best way (its what i did). Sadly i am not the type who remembers boly by bolt.
Good luck

Do you have to take the battery off in order to take the manifold off?

Given that your doing the throttle body it will run like a bag of spanners at first, and yes you can just drive it and it will learn anyway, but this is the way to settle it out.
