• Q: How to install the exhaust manifold and associated components on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: Begin installation of the exhaust manifold by placing the No. 2 exhaust manifold heat insulator with 3 bolts reaching 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque. Place the exhaust manifold and new gasket with 5 nuts which should be torqued to 21 Nm (214 kgf-cm, 16 ft-lbf). You must install a 3-bolt manifold support bracket to the prescribed order before torquing it to 43 Nm (438 kgf-cm, 32 ft-lbf). The first exhaust manifold heat insulator requires 4 bolts that need torquing to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Final components include the drive shaft assembly RH and front axle assembly RH followed by the No. 1 front suspension arm sub-assembly RH along with the front stabilizer link assembly RH, tie rod end sub-assembly RH and front speed sensor RH, front axle shaft RH nut and front wheel which must be installed according to established procedures. The procedure includes installing the front exhaust pipe assembly and the air fuel ratio sensor alongside the automatic transaxle fluid addition and automatic transaxle fluid examination while also performing manual transaxle oil addition and leak inspection for automatic and manual transaxles. Exhaust gas leak inspections must be performed as well as front wheel alignment adjustments before installing the engine under cover RH with a recommended torque of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf).
