2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser Exhaust Manifold Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to Install an Exhaust Manifold on 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: You should start by holding a new exhaust manifold gasket in its place without applying sealer. Lift the engine and vehicle as needed, then install the exhaust manifold, secure it with fasteners at 23 Nm (200 in. lbs.) torque and check and tighten each fastener again until all are tightened to the correct specification. Following that, fit the exhaust heat shields to the manifold with all bolts torqued to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.), then install the exhaust bracket and finish with the engine wiring heat shield. Join the oxygen connector after that and align the exhaust with the manifold using a new gasket, attaching them snugly at 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.). Replace the coolant container, fasten the power steering reservoir to the cylinder head and link the MAP sensor to its electrical unit. Link the throttle and speed control cables to the throttle lever and bracket, reattach the negative battery cable and put in the clean air hose and air cleaner housing.
