2008 Scion xD Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: An installation method for the intake manifold involves placing a fresh gasket on it and securing the assembly with 4 bolts and 2 nuts until their torque reaches 28 Nm (286 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf). You should then install ventilation hoses before applying clamps to the 4 wire harnesses. Install the throttle body assembly and the transmission oil level gauge sub-assembly with the bolt secured at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) before connecting both breather hose and dipstick. The oil cooler tube installation begins with the wire feed and proper attachment of the outlet No. 1 and inlet No. 1 tubes inside the oil cooler tube union before clamping the transmission oil filler tube with a bolt at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). To install the outlet No. 1 oil cooler tube use a union nut wrench while applying torques that reach 34 Nm without the wrench but should be lower at 32 Nm with the wrench when keeping it aligned parallel to the torque wrench. Repeating the method installs the inlet No. 1 oil cooler tube. You should add fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly then connect fuel tube sub-assembly with fuel pipe clamp and vacuum hose while including No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose and harness bracket and engine wire harness. Add engine coolant before testing coolant and fuel leak detection. After that, install the air cleaner cap with its hose and connect the cable to the negative terminal at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). You will finish the installation by securing No. 2 cylinder head cover and engine under cover RH and LH together with a torque of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf).
