inlet manifold seal

[bulbsubaru]

Hi guys is there anyone on here that knows the part number of the manifold seal that sits between the engine and inlet manifold? And the best place to get one other than Renault themselves? Cheers Richard.

The lower inlet manifold or the egg shaped gasket on the top of engine to upper inlet?

Fantastic mate thanks

Is it a dealer only part?

I believe so, last time I got one it was about a fiver

 

[bulbsubaru]

Okay, thanks again!

Curiosity buddy, was this or would this cause high idle if not installed?

It certainly could do, yeah.

No worries, had a bit of work done and car now idling at 2500. Removed top part of maniforl and discovered ring missing and a load of instant gasket badly in its place. Think this might resolve issue

It certainly should do, I did some work on one a while ago with the exact same symptoms (albeit with higher idle speed) and once proper gaskets were in it ran spot on

Excellent, great news. Thanks
