Yes I did and poked about with a tooth brush pulling out loads of carbon!

Think I'll have a go at that!

I'm sure I saw a guide on here somewhere.

Gasket, plenum - would you kindly draw some arrows on a picture pointing out what parts these are?

Ta!

Its all in this thread matey Looking at the pics if you have an early MY04/05 then I would take it off and give it a clean as would imagine it would look a bit like this

I'm actually looking for the location of said parts, so I can pull them off, give them a clean.

I'll have a look in my Haynes manual tonight. I'm sure there'll be a guide in there.

I haven't got any pics to hand ATM sorry, Take the engine cover off and its the plastic pipes that follow on from the throttle body that you took off the other day. The only thing is to take the inlet off you need to remove the rocker cover too as its all integrated in as one.....

Glad the guide is helping a few folks out.

Seems to be quite a popular thing going down here mate

Wish there was a more local meet and we could all meet up and exchange ideas and things. All meets seem to be miles away from me

Well I'm not too far from yourself and a few others, we should organise our own. :-)
