Due to the extreme temperature fluctuations inside the engine (during the combustion cycles the engine cools and heats continuously) the inlet manifold gasket is especially prone to wear and should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. It is important to ensure that the gasket is in a good condition as a damaged gasket can cause engine coolant to leak out, risking overheating of the engine. Therefore, should you experience problems with the gasket, then it is important to have the manifold's gasket inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced.

“For the first time, I used clickmechanic.com. Fortunately, I met a fantastic team. The guy came to my home, took my Land Rover Discovery 4 to change the timing belt, diagnosed the car, and changed the engine oil and filters. As I work night shifts, I was supposed to sleep during the day. They brought my car back before I was due to go to work. They were patient with my questions, explaining everything to me. I am happy to book with them again.”
