Intake manifold gasket
I have to replace intake manifold gasket in c5 v6. I found similar on eBay but just wondering if I can use gasket maker sealant instead of oem gasket.

Re: Intake manifold gasket
I guess we are talking about a petrol V6 with an ES9 engine?
In principle a silicone sealant can be used, but it is likely to cause more work next time the manifold is taken off because it will need to be cleaned off and kept out of the inlet ports.
I would have thought that the gaskets would still be available cheaply from a PSA dealer, or after-market parts supplier.

Re: Intake manifold gasket
I will apply the gasket and leave to dry, so when I put it back on the engine it will not stick. This way it will be easier to remove next time.

Re: Intake manifold gasket
the gasket tube stuff is designed to spread out and dry and turn into a gasket, filling imperfections when torqued down. if you let it go off then fit it i'd imagine it'd just blow or have not dried flat.
