Easy? DIY job?
Is there a step by step guide?
Thanks

Haynes manual? I should imagine it isn't a 1 spanner rating out of 5.

Did you ever get the warranty thing sorted from a couple of months ago?

If the exhaust manifold is a the front i can't see it being too hard.
Mines at the back on the golf and is an absolute bitch to get to!

Mon, when I 1st removed my Astra's it took me 3 hours. The last time I changed it it only took me 20 mins 
I found it easier to stand on the engine and work that way.
It's fvery tight to remove the oil return pipe and there is a bracket from the turbo to the block, that IS a big pain to get off. In the end I didn't refit it with that on. All the exhaust mani has to come offto take the turbo off the mani coz you can't get to or see the bolts.
