exhaust manifold

[denvo]

i have V6 twin turbo Audi Allroad and would like to know the process of removing the exhaust manifolds w/o removing the entire engine

Be very careful, as its very very hot part. Better do when car is fully cold.

The best way to take the manifolds off is to remove the heads first.

Unbolt the manifolds from the downpipes and removed them with the heads.

in removing your exhaust manifold you may need to have access to the underside of the car in order to change it. Otherwise, you have to remove several engine components just to get to the bolts.
