W124 E300 Diesel - Removing Inlet Manifold

[TonyE300D]

I need to remove the inlet manifold to get at the leaking fuel pipes on my E300 Diesel. I'm hoping to tackle this job tomorrow and would appreciate any advice or suggestions as to how to make it go as smoothly as possible. I have a complete set of gaskets and seals from the local MB dealer.

I am particularly concerned about removing the Torx head bolts that secure the inlet manifold to the cylinder head, but would be grateful to hear about any other possible pitfalls.

Don't worry, its easy. They come away with no problems. Don't overtighten them when you reinstall it, and you may need a new gasket or some paste on the old gasket.

That would be great, Malcolm, thank you! Here is an email addy I use for occasions like this:

It's a comparatively peaceful refuge.

Thanks for that. I'm encouraged!

I have a new gasket from the MB dealer. It cost about £9.
