New inlet

[davejm123]

A quick question....!!

My new reworked inlet arrived today and the gasket was forgotten from the order. I have it booked in tomorrow to be fitted, but will i need the gasket or can it be got from renault without ordering(if so how much), or is the seal ok to be siliconed (sp?)? Or shall i cancell the fitting!!

Cheers, :approve:

i thought the existing gasket should be ok ........ renault should have them in stock :dapprove:

to be sure is to buy the gaskets , keep the reciept , if not required then you return them after car is collected

the inlet / plenum part is the same as the 172 ....... except the holes are bigger , have a look at benR thread about inlet matching ......

If you have the wrong one, let me know. I'll buy it off you.

The 182 plenum has 2 'barbs' poking out behind the right hand corner, behind the throttle body. And the bolts holes to the valve cover are spaced further apart, 172 has the 2 bolts either side of the coilpack, the 182 has the nearside one next to the coilpack and the offside one is further off and closer to the oil cap.

The gaskets need to be new, they a crush type shim steel, re-using is a bodge.
