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.

“I picked ClickMechanic because I simply don't have time to take my car to a garage or be without it for any length of time.
Oliver was fantastic. A real decent guy.
I had pads & discs replaced on my bmw, He test drove the car to confirm that was the issue and he went above and beyond in the work and advice given.
He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and we even had a chat about life and hung out while he worked!
He even put up with tons of questions from me!
Really nice to have a personal mechanic to talk to instead of a workshop waiting room behind glass.
Very pleasant & useful experience. We already talked about the next job needing doing on the car!
Will definitely be using ClickMechanic again.”
