We remove the intake resonator to replace the gaskets, as well as when dismantling engine assemblies for which the intake resonator needs to be dismantled.
The dismantling of the intake resonator for the 1.6 l and 2.0 l engines is practically no different.
We prepare the vehicle for the work. We disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
We disconnect the wiring harness connectors from the intake air temperature sensor and the absolute air pressure sensor (described in the article — Removal of the ECU and engine management system sensors of the Renault Duster vehicle).
We disconnect the wiring harness connectors from the ignition coils (article — Replacing the ignition coils and spark plugs Renault Duster).
We withdraw the ignition coil wiring harnesses from the holders on the intake resonator.
We disconnect the brake servo pipe terminal from the intake resonator union.
We remove the throttle body.
We undo the five front securing bolts of the intake resonator to the intake pipe.
We undo the right rear intake resonator securing bolt.
We undo the left rear intake resonator securing bolt.
The intake resonator securing bolts are special.
We remove the intake resonator as an assembly with the temperature and absolute air pressure sensors.
If necessary, we dismantle the sensors.
After dismantling the intake resonator, the air filter housing can be withdrawn from the engine compartment.
It is desirable to replace the rubber seals.
To replace the gasket in the connection with the oil separator cover, we withdraw it from the intake resonator groove.
We also withdraw from the flange grooves the gaskets in the connection with the intake pipe.
We install all parts in the reverse order.
We start the intake resonator securing bolts.
We tighten the bolts in the following order: first the five front securing bolts evenly from the centre to the edges, and then the two rear securing bolts to a torque of 25 Nm.
