2009 Scion xD Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the intake manifold and associated components on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: The installation begins with setting a fresh gasket on the manifold before tightening the 4 bolts and 2 nuts of the intake manifold and intake manifold stay to 28 Nm torque (286 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf). The ventilation hose needs to be attached and 4 wire harness clamps need installation. The installation of the throttle body assembly should follow the transmission oil level gauge sub-assembly installation. Install the bolt using 5.5 Nm force (56 kgf-cm or 49 in-lbf) and connect the breather hose together with the dipstick. Mount the oil cooler tube clamp before inserting both outlet No.1 and inlet No.1 oil cooler tubes into the oil cooler tube union while tightening the transmission oil filler tube sub-assembly bolt at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). You can install the outlet No. 1 oil cooler tube by using a union nut wrench to tighten it to 34 Nm (347 kgf-cm, 25 ft-lbf) although 32 Nm (327 kgf-cm, 24 ft-lbf) is also acceptable using the union wrench while the nut is parallel to the torque wrench. Apply the same installation procedure to the inlet No. 1 oil cooler tube. The necessary installation sequence includes engine oil level dipstick followed by starter assembly and flywheel housing side cover after which comes the injector vibration insulator and the No. 1 delivery pipe spacer and fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly along with the fuel tube sub-assembly and fuel pipe clamp. Next in order come the vacuum hose together with No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose and harness bracket and engine wire harness and lastly the air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose. The cable installation to the negative battery terminal requires a torque setting of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) and after completing the add procedure of engine coolant you must inspect for coolant and fuel leaks then place the No. 2 cylinder head cover in position followed by securing engine under covers on both sides with torques of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) each.
