Replacing the Exhaust Manifold Gasket

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Engine

After thoroughly cleaning the gasket seating, place the gasket aligning it with the dowel pins and fit the exhaust manifold; then tighten the manifold fixing nuts with a torque wrench and in a cross pattern to ensure even adherence of the gasket. This gasket is made of metallic material to withstand high temperatures and the acidic action of exhaust gases without deteriorating or deforming, ensuring a good seal over time, preventing leaks and emissions that could lead to annoying noises and compromise engine performance.
