Mazda 6 2.2 Skyactiv Diesel Intake Manifold Removal For Carbon Cleaning

[@tomhelsby5546]

Great video, can be done by any amateur mechanic. I was quoted £1200 by my local Mazda dealers to do this work

[@stuartread9512]

One of the clearest videos on car maintenance. Very good indeed. Sometimes the toughest thing is when you see a new design clip for a hose or connector, they will come apart easily but only if you know how!

[@MrNiceGuy94]

Thank you. I try to give and share as much details in my videos as I can. So that everybody can do it at home and fix their cars and save money at the same time! :)

​@@MrNiceGuy94what can happen if i will ignore it and will keep driving like that with dirty intake? I have MAF sensor error code but it has been replaced and it is still the so on the forum I get suggestions for carbon residue clean up. Is that what it is?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

@@theartofflying3108 is it for MAF or MAP sensor? If you keep driving it will get eventually worse and will have higher consumption and performance loss.

[@theartofflying3108]

@@MrNiceGuy94 went on as MAF sensor fpr P0101.. error but I checked this and cleaned and it s still same after some on and off for the check engine. now its permanent error. Car drives ok though. I was suggested it could be a the other sensor that its causing this fault for the ontake carbon build up as the car past 56k miles already. Could it be true that it carbon causes this error as well as false self diagnosis?

Thank you for this video. 👌 it saved me 350+ Euro from the official Mazda service (4 hours labor with nuts blast - the EGR Cooler isn't included). So i removed all the parts in 5 hours because I lack some tools. I cleaned everything in around 5 hours. Tip, the best spray cleaner is the one for wood stove carbon cleaner! The Egr Cooler needs a day to soake in a degrease/ anti carbon liquid for best results. Then around 5 hours to mount it back. If you have time, please add the torque specs in the video, it was difficult to find them. What I found out that the intake was not having too much carbon build up after 40k km from the last cleaning, but the Egr cooler was not letting the air flow very well. As well as throttle body was having a lot of carbon and oil mixed up. I suspect that the turbo is leaking oil that cause then the frequent regeneration (every 50-60 km). The engine now has 180k km.

[@agungkurniawan37]

you really a nice guy posting this. I will save it for future reference. mine is 2018 CX-5 2.2 Skyactive, but seems the engine is similar.

[@josephtai9632]

Thanks Mr Nice Guy. Great video. I had the warning for a while on my mazda 6 2.2 and finally decided to try this out. Easy to follow and it took ages to clean. Mine was worse than the ones in video and the exhaust ports on cylinder block were really bad as I could barely see the valve rods. Only cleaned all the parts about 80% as I plan to sell soon. Scary point after putting back together as it took six yimes before the engine finally rumbled back to life. Took gor a drive and its morr responsive and fuel economy seems higher and no more butning smell from exhaust after. Thanks for the great video.

[@MrNiceGuy94]

Sometimes it takes me even 15 attempts to fire up.

[@Philippe432]

Thank you so much sir from France, everything was so perfect, congratulations again 👍

[@davidegan3844]

Great video, any advice on how to clean these parts at home?

[@garywelch7969]

Great video and did a successful diy job from watchingyour videos. Lots of fresh oil in my intake pipes. Unfortunately this is still happening. Dripping oil on my drive. Comes from the plastic pipe close to the battery tray. Drips of oil from rubber pipe connection comingout. Any ideas?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

My guess is either the PCV system or your turbo is failing.

[@garywelch7969]

Will the 2.2 D skyactiv have a PCV valve? If yes, any idea of its location?

Hey, Great video - Im looking to replace my Glow plugs on my Mazda 6 2.2 Skyctiv (same car as above) but unlike other cars the Plugs are very difficult to get to - what would you recommend?

Many thanks for this excellent video. I'm thinking to tackle this job myself. Do you have a list of replacement gaskets required please? Preferably with Mazda part numbers. I also intend to 3D print a intake port adapter to use on my vacuum with a standard shot blaster. So could you also confirm the size of the intake ports please?

[@user-px3us8bx]

Hello. Please tell me what kind of vacuum cleaner you use (brand, model...?) Also, what type of blaster do you use? thank you!

[@bartj7066]

Hey, thanks for this great video. I did the job on my mazda 6 without any issues, however recently did it on my friends car, and when put everything together, it wouldn't start. Feels like fuel isnt delivered to injectors. Any idea what we did wrong?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

Just crank it till it starts, it will don't worry ;)

[@ileamarcel]

Good job !

[@mikw1809]

Hehe ... lovely isn't it? 😉 Are you using good quality oil? ACEA C3? I'm using Shell Helix on mine. Wondering if the extra oil consumption of a budget oil might be contributing to this carbon problem?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

I use Castrol or Motul ;)

[@MaxLuhans]

Hi, do you know the torque for the 12 bolts of intake manifold?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

The intake manifold on the 2.2 Skyactiv Diesel has only 8 bolts, and the torque specs for them are 20-25 NM. So make sure you have the same model.

[@MaxLuhans]

That means all of them first 20nm and then 25 nm?or is that a Torque range?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

@@MaxLuhans Ow,yeah. Sorry,my bad. Mazda gives torque range, so between 20-25 Nm all of them. I tightened them to 23Nm.

[@planktone95]

Szia, ha nekem ki se akar jönni a helyéről a MAP sensor, mert csak egy kis lötyögése van, de amúgy kifelé nem akar moccani, az valószínűleg jelentheti azt, hogy már annyira le van rakódva, hogy ráfér egy tisztítás. (Féltem tovább erőltetni, nem tudom mennyire tud bele szakadni) :)

[@elkopanare7732]

Hi, is there a way to check if the intake manifold needs a cleaning procedure without disassembling? I've checked the throttle body on mine and it's clean. Is there a relation between them.. i mean if the throttle body is fine the intake manifold should also be good or thats not correct?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

Do you mean on this engine? 2.2 skyactiv diesel? How did you check the throttle body without removing the intake manifold?

[@elkopanare7732]

Yes, exactly, 2.2 175hp. I was in a repair shop and the technician there inserted a stick with a mirror and we saw that the throttle was clean.@@MrNiceGuy94​

Great job , did you replace the gaskits or reused them ?

[@MrNiceGuy94]

Thanks man. I reused them. As far as I know you can only get the intake manifold gasket separately, the rest come with the pipes or the EGR, so you can't buy them separately, at least I couldn't find. And since they are metal gaskets I reused them.

Hi, the intake piping plastic tab shown at 21:13 on video. On my vehicle there plastic is cracked, making it very difficult to remove. Can i remove it from the metal hose clamps?.

[@MrNiceGuy94]

That's a good question. Unfortunately I don't know. Maybe you have to get a new pipe.

[@soroleague7619]

Ok thanks for reply 👍

[@tomhelsby5546]

Did this job on my CX5 last year, a bitch of a job. A word of warning! when removing the plastic clamp on the air intake pipe to the manifold, be very careful. The plastic clip is brittle and breaks easily. Mazda only sells it as a complete unit for over £500. I managed to get one from a scrap dealer but still had to pay £120. All this is the fault of direct injection diesel system

[@dpranjko]

Is there any way to delete the egr system since it does more harm than good

[@MrNiceGuy94]

Hi, yes there is. People usually blank it off and map it off from the ECU.

[@HD2You]

​​@@MrNiceGuy94it is only software modification or it needs also hardware modification? I am asking this because if it is needed some work at the EGR then is good to clean the intake manifold too to save some work.

What causes this? Is it mileage related? Looks like an expensive job. Is it only Mazda's that are prone to this? Edit: Just located a good explanation on line (axi international). Seems that all engines can be affected, probably some more than other 🙄.

[@MrNiceGuy94]

It is because of the EGR system. All direct injection cars are prone to it, unfortunately Mazdas have it really bad. You can do the job yourself following my videos ;) or I can do it for you, no problem ;)

[@SaxJockey]

@@MrNiceGuy94 Thanks for the reply. I understand now, just read up about EGR and DI. I am also aware of leaking injector washer issues, but doubted that was the primary cause of all this carbon build up. Things are fine at the moment, but thanks for the offer 👍.

[@tomhelsby5546]

The carbon build up is a result of direct injection. With indirect injection the diesel spray washes over the inlet valves keeping them clean
