407 2.7 HDi support/turbo air cylinder over engine removal

[CJRinLara]

Hi
I am seeking to clean a few things in my engine, namely: the glow plugs, the inlet manifold, and fuel injectors.
To do this, it appears I need to remove a very solid metal bar/cylinder over the engine that I believe is some airflow (after the turbo?) cylinder.
Can someone help answer: can I remove this and then how? I have unscrewed the hose fittings on each end but it feels immoveable.

Regards

From experience, unless something is not working / you have codes on Diag, I would not touch it.

There are two bolts you need to remove that hold the pipe.

Bolt 1 - 10mm attached to the diesel filter

Bolt 2 - 13mm under the turbo tube

There is a support bolt underneath the tube which attaches it to the engine lifting bracket. It is a m12 bolt. There is also a visible nut and washer near the fuel filter too.
Make sure that you release the hose clamps at the front and rear of the metal tube. Once it is free, rock it side to side to release the rubber hose sections. Even spray some carburettor cleaner into to hose joints to help the tube flanges free themselves from the hoses.
If you make sure that the tube is free it will release with some gentle persuasion. Just be firm but patient.
