If you torque your ptfe gasket down to the same as the standard gasket it shouldn't leak and if anything will give you a better seal... try it as it's free then maybe order a new MAP.

And when the air is going through more slowly they work better? and to reduce overall heat build up in the plenum they work better? plus they last god knows how much longer and seal better than standard.... Fred is right..

Hi; Need a bit of advice; my mates 1.2 (mk2 - 53 plate) is having intermittent starting fault - we thought was the TDC sensor, changed it, but still is kicking in from time to time. To help diagnose I have downloaded PCMSCAN and a have OBD2 Port Lead which I use on my Golf so I know it...

Hi All; My mate has got a 1.2 8v Mk2 Clio for his first car and we are just trying to make it sound a little bit better without spending a lot. I indicated to him that a simple panel filter would help this, free up a tad of air and wouldn't cost much at all. It could probably do with a...

Fact is that the PTFE will offer a better seal and will last longer. But yes you can re-use the originals in many cases even though this is not usually recommended.

it will deform if you torque the hell out of them. some people have sold them on here as second hand that look almost as new.

PTFE gaskets are worth doing if you want a well sealing, reuseable gasket, that can reduce inlet temps and will never be effected by oil/petrol etc. A lot of people on here run them with positive results.

anyone?

Can anyone tell me the dialogys designation number for the 197 and 200 are?

Mmm - something more definitive would be good... but thanks mate :)

Hi; Can anybody tell me if the inlet manifold / setup is different on the 197 compared to the 200? Also if they are, are the gaskets the same? :) Cheers

PTFE gaskets are reuseable - part of the joy/investment :) OEM ones are supposed to be replaced, but people do report they have replaced it without any noticeable issues.

Get rid of the paint. If thats the only difference between yours and another one with lower temps then it must be it....

They were sent FOC mate as spares

LOL @ Fred - behave yourself

its why the tuners (jamsport, JMS) inlet fitting is inclusive of new gaskets... up to you mate

It is recommended to fit new gaskets whenever you do this job as the standard ones have tendancy to leak after being disturbed. If you want properly reuseable gaskets you should opt for the PTFE ones which I can supply you with - no problem just supplying the plenum on its own if that is all...

Your f**kin mum lol U know no1 is gona buy it now theyve seen what lies beneath the shiny red paint lol. Wicked aye

Shem had to pester you just to let him setup the TPS lol you cant even be ar5ed to let other people work on ur car mate at least when they do it, it doesn't break again (ready to lift) PMSL ;)

LOL Dedication - lying in bed sayin ya can't be ar5sed, i'll do it tomorrow, i want bacon! 3 hours - Mmmm Skills? lol thats why its always broke cus u keep working on it! Brand new cars tend to have no rattles, no knocks, no leaks and luxuries such as remote central locking that...

Jamie - you have PM

£40 diag is about right. £25 half hour labour seems f**kin steep!

Views on performance are mixed - the fact you can reuse them seems to meet with most peoples's needs.

take a healthy guess, but overestimate then you can always cut it down or compress it. If it helps my last purchase of CAF was about 1m

I don't know mate - can't you measure it?!

there are loads of threads on here about 172 exhausts. Try Yozzasport - http://www.yozzasport.com/ for a 'rally' exhaust

Just get on ebay and search for cold air feed then find the cheapest one at the right length / diameter for you - job done :)

Hi; You may as well change the gaskets whilst you are there to a a set of PTFE thermal intake gaskets - these replace the standard gaskets but dont allow heat transfer from the engine to the inlet manifold meaning cooler inlet temps. Also they are reuseable and wont deteroriate like the...
