Gaskets

[Stueylouey21]

I've just brought some matched inlets, when I fit them is it worth fitting new gaskets even if they appear ok?
also anyone know how many/what gaskets are needed?
cheers Stuart..

Has anyone done this before and replaced the gaskets? Just wanted some opinions before I took it apart

You don't need to but its good practice too, not silly expensive from Renault either.

get some PTFE gaskets they sell them at k tec

Don't suppose either of you know how many gaskets I would need if I'm replacing upper and lower inlet?

PTFE gaskets make no real world difference on these.

You need head to lower inlet gasket and lower to upper inlet gasket.
