PB blaster is your friend. Go slow, usually you can feel if it's going to break. If you think it will, get the map torch out and heat it up. I think people breaking studs on the manifold and downpipe are just hulking it.

I'll keep that in mind. I read somewhere that the studs are designed to come out if the nut seizes to them. That's what happened to the stuck nut that was in my dp at-least. I might try to break them all loose first thing before I get too involved.

I just found out about it. I’m pretty sure all CBFA engines are covered by it.

As long as the car is stock. At-least that is what my localish APR selling dealer told me. VW is starting to crack down apparently.

That's pretty bogus honestly considering anyone with a ccta gets the short end of the warranty stick.

Yea I’m not a hundred percent sure about CCTA engines and the warranty. But if the car is PZEV then it should be covered. I don’t think the CCTA cars are PZEV though.

Agreed. I use Aerokroil which is spendy but worth it for loosening rusty nuts/bolts.
