I assume that lubing the boost control solenoid would be a good idea too. I haven't had a good look under the bonnet yet but I assume they have the same solenoid setup as the BA/BF?

Got me worried about the manifold falling off or leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prudent Member 21 Member For: 14y 9m 5d Posted 08/06/10 02:54 PM Share Posted 08/06/10 02:54 PM So do the exhaust manifold bolts on a FG need to be retorqued during service?Reason I ask is I'm ringing around for prices for the 15k service and some are charging up to more than $200 than others, which they claim the manifold bolts need to be checked.
