Azid Member 213 Member For: 13y 2m Posted 29/08/14 06:28 AM Share Posted 29/08/14 06:28 AM (edited) Hey guysI've had a slowly getting worse noise coming from engine/under drivers side. It's like a rattling noise that sounds like muffler is shot. Had it looked at and it's not exhaust it's coming more from engine so was thinking maybe manifold gasket. I took the heat shielding off to have a look and noticed one of the 4 bolts that join turbo and manifold seems to be sitting out and guessing it shouldn't. Would this be maybe a cause? I'm still thinking its something else but since it just started to rain on me I had to stop. I posted pic below of the bolt can someone just confirm this isn't normal and any suggestions what issue could be. Ill post video of noise when it stops raining and put pipe work back on Edited 29/08/14 06:29 AM by Azid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got video it doesn't sound as bad as in person though.trim.RzkCIP.MOV Edited 29/08/14 07:14 AM by Azid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azid Member 213 Member For: 13y 2m Posted 29/08/14 12:09 PM Author Share Posted 29/08/14 12:09 PM Is there an easy way to get to that bolt without taking everything off and out? Although gasket has probably blown out and needs replacing huh? Which is no small job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for gasket, there is none at that point from memory, the metal expands as it heats and seals well.Oh and its a stud and nut , not a bolt. Wind it back in and you will be all good.Just checked and its 55mn for the stud/nut torque but I doubt you can get a torque wrench in there, just as tight as you can with a spanner really.

Also get them as right as you can, go for a 10min drive and then put a spanner over all of them, you'll find they tighten even more (wear protection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
