It cost us about $700 cnd. That was a shop that charged about $75/hr.
I have a 2002 Olds Silhouette and had to replace the head gasket set 2 years ago. It raun around $1,700.00
Intake manifold gasket leak....big problem with that engine. Sorry for the bad news.
It is either an intake gasket, or head gasket most likely...bring it in to a mechanic.
There are 2 of them. They are sandwiched between the heads and the engine block. In order to replace them the intake manifold and heads must be removed and exhaust manifold disconnected. Always replace both of them on a V6.
Intake manifold gasket seems to go on every single van, anywhere between 60k and 150k. This van has a host of cooling/transmission issues.
Remove the manifold and change the gasket. And voila!!!
No. which manifold gasket are you wanting to replace? Intake or exhaust?
Replace gasket why does gasket keep sliding
Yes, you must install a new intake manifold gasket.
The only fix is to remove the head and replace the gasket.
The gasket is between the head and the manifold and simply remove the bolts and replace the gasket after cleaning it real good.
Your erg valve is installed upside down and backwards. The same thing happend to me.
