I had to remove the thermostat housing (on my 270cdi) to allow room for the manifold to come out..........also, there is a supporting bracket below the manifold that you need to unbolt, remove the n/s plastic inner wing liner to access it.


edit......... it took me 6 hours to remove and refit the manifold

As panason1c but l have a c270cdi W203 so might not be the same on a 220cdi.
