Replacing the Intake Manifold Gasket

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Engine

The intake manifold is actually made from a single plastic block that also includes the rocker cover. The intake manifold gasket consists of four O-rings to be placed at the four intake ports, plus one to be inserted into the designated groove under the rocker cover. Once you have thoroughly cleaned the gasket seating, apply the gaskets and install the manifold, tightening the respective fixing bolts without exceeding the torque limit, as it is a plastic structure: use a torque wrench.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
