Check out this service bulletin that I picked up from the US.

Engine, Intake Manifold Mounting Bolt Torque

It may not affect your car and it may be you want to wait until there's an issue but you may also want to have it checked.

I'm not sure yet it if US only but since they all come from the same factory then probably not. I'm doing some checking on that now.

My car was in at the dealers nad they've told me this is for US cars only. It doesn't make sense to me that this is the case but there you go.

Am I the only one that cannot read the PDF document?

...thanks for the tip Scotty!

So, has anyone looked for the yellow paint dot?

I have no yellow dot. Now I'm just trying to work out whether to feel relieved or faintly miffed about being excluded from "the yellow dot club".

Whatever, thanks for the heads up, Scotty. :beerchug:
