plenum polishing

[matty J]

As above anyone on here do it?? if so how much???

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Most people seem to do their own . But i have read about a few people saying they've had theirs done at local metal polishers . Your best bet would be to check yell.com for local metal polishing companys .

did you have to take it off the car?? if so how?? and how long did it take??

 

[CHRISK172+]

With average mechanical skills i'd say an hour...not rushing. Remove engine cover, 4 bolts. Disconnect the 90 degree bend from airbox. There are several connectors to the plenum which will unplug/disconnect. The ignition module will need removing, 4 bolts.
Feul rail cover held by 2 10mm bolts at front. Plenum held on by about 7 10mm bolts. Might be advisable to replace gasket too. Remove throttle body from plenum(easier than doing after plenum is off) and disconnect wiring plug.
Not as hard as it sounds....honest.
How long....will depend how busy the Polisher is....tell him you need it urgently as your going away....might help I waited 10 days but I don't rely on my car.

Plenum removed.....

 

[matty J]

nice one cheers still bit dodgy bout taking it off tho
where do you get the gasket from and how much (not very genned up on cars machanically)

think with the work involved once my engine cover is gone going to sand mine down and paint it silver..or maybe red dont know he he

 

[john182rs]

ive done the same as matty an cool. Just book'd all my engine bits in at impact for 26th may. Like others have said just feel abit dodgy about removing some of the bits an bobs.
Ill be taking mine off an leaving it at home while i pay the guy a visit in the other car. Anyone willing to help me take bits off please do just send us a pm or some thing as im definatly unsure of things.

 

[matty J]
