2l engine intake manifold removal, rather urgent :)

[braincrush]

hi i am in the middle of replacing coilpacks on my motor, all the tutorials i've seen however show a different type of manifold (mine have round pipes) and im stuck ...

i hve 6 bolts taken out but something is holding manifold at the top-right corner, i can feel the bracket at the back but im not sure if i can get to the bolt (extremely tight) 

could someone tell me if this is the bolt i should attack or is it something else holding it ?

 

[uPDATE] Had to throw in the towel, there is no chance for me to stick my troll hands into that tiny gap, there is a 3/4" wiring loom obscuring the access also, i will try next weekend when i acquire longer ratchet extension...

 

i have replaced the front coil packs, 1 was different then all the rest, and two had split rubber seal on the tip...

If it has made a difference to the running by changing a couple of the coil packs then you may have stumbled across the faulty ones...sods law, its going to be the last one you attack though!

Good luck with the awkward bolt...been there, got the scars to prove it, lol

I have had a good drive around last night (motorway) where i could recreate the situation in which my cat was all jiggery, and ... nothing ! all nice and smooth ! i have to admit, that's a first, normally i would share your opinion Trevor (sods law and all) that's why i am so excited still :) i will replace the rear row when i get a moment, but since the problem is gone i can sort rear discs and pads next (probably this weekend)

wish me luck :)
