vauxhall corsa c 1.0 2003 intake manifold

Showing 2 out of 2 Posts
Question From naabob on vauxhall corsa c 1.0 2003 intake manifold

Hello, I noticed my corsa c 1.0 2003 wasn't able to tick over without stalling and after a quick look at the engine, I found all 5 intake manifold bolts have snapped. I have spend a few hours now looking for these bolts and have no clue what they are called or where to find them. I've been to scrap yards, and shops and have ran out of places to go. If anyone knows the names of these bolts or where to buy them please could you let me know.
Here is a picture of the bolt


Thank you

Response From Discretesignals Top Rated Answer

If they were holding the intake manifold to the cylinder head, they would be called intake manifold mounting bolts. Have you attempted the Vauxhall dealer?

Question From jack64 on intake manifold

1996 lincoln town car with 4.6 engine. The intake manifold is leaking water. Are they know to give problems?

Response From Guest Top Rated Answer

The mechanic I took it to said the manifold was cracked & that Lincoln had problems with these manifolds cracking .

Response From Tom Greenleaf

Yes - just saw a plastic one cracked. Wasn't my job but looking at the crack it didn't look like any patching was going to last well. Big buck item too dammit!

T

Response From Jeff Norfolk

Intake manifold cracks are common. I believe Dorman manufactures an aftermarket replacement for this engine because it is so common. Plastic is a terrible choice of manufacturing material for an intake manifold.

Response From Guest

Sure is expensive. 250.00 for the manifold, plus labor of about 300.00. Will also have the water hose's replaced & belt. Looking at about 700.00 all togather.

Response From dmac0923

yea they have a coolant hose/tube under the intake. thats probably what your leak is coming from

Quick radiator/intake manifold question

Question From jackkarnes on Quick radiator/intake manifold question

Hi--would a mechanic need to drain the radiator on a 02 hyundai elentra in order to replace the intake manifold gasket? I had the gasket replaced and 4 days later the car overheated due to no fluid in radiator--thanks

Response From Hammer Time

It's not mentioned in the instructions but he may have drained it if one of the hoses was in his way.
I would have it pressure tested for leaks and if you find none, then he likely left it low.

Response From jackkarnes

ok thanks--although, i think its too late for pressure test-the top of radiator melted---the guage that warns the driver inside the vehicle was already not working so by the time my wife realized the car was overheating, there was already white smoke and slightly melted top to radiator--i am fearing serious damage to aluminum components such as head, etc, etc-----does that sound right? thanks for your time

Response From Hammer Time

Yep, your looking at a blown head gasket at the very least.
I wouldn't be looking for anyone else to blame if you were knowingly driving that around with no temp gauge,especially if your wife was driving it.

Response From jackkarnes

yeah thanks guy

Response From Hammer Time

Being an "02, I would expect that it would be worth putting a used engine in it, assuming it doesn't have a million other problems.

Response From jackkarnes

it has about 160,000 miles with nice body, interior, suspension, etc.---what is your advice on purchasing used heads from craigs list? (if it needs it of course--my mechanic will not be in until tommorow to look at it)--i found one from an 03 elentra for 100 bucks--what do i look for when i go get it? thanks

Response From Hammer Time

If it got as hot as you described and has that many miles on it, I wouldn't even consider trying to repair that engine. A used engine would be the cheapest way out and you's still be looking at over $1000 for a job like that.

sorry about duplicate question--new to forums

also, if serious damage has occurred to motor, repairing could probably get close to overall value of car right? i.e. totalled? thanks for your time

New Intake Manifold Gasket

Question From gigirl on New Intake Manifold Gasket

I just had an intake manifold gasket installed yesterday. Is it possible it could be leaking already and if so why would it be?

Response From chickenhouse

Yes, it is possible and one reason would be it was installed wrong. Could it just be burning off okd oil, gasket scrapings, etc?

Response From gigirl

I believe the job was done correctly. Work was performed by a well-trusted mechanic. Is it normal to for it to burn off that excess oil and/or scrappings after this type of repair? Is it possible something is just loose?

Response From chickenhouse

Let's start here- what kind of problem are you having and what vehicle-engine is it?

Response From gigirl Top Rated Answer

GM 3.1
The car had an external coolant leak. Was told it was the intake manifold gasket. Had it replaced, also replaced the thermostat, flushed coolant and changed oil (the works!). I saw a small puddle under the car this evening and am worried that it is still leaking.

Response From chickenhouse

If the drip continues, take it back to the people that repaired it and request a cooling system pressure test. Do not drive this if overheating.

Response From gigirl

They told me to bring it back in a week to check it out. What would they need to check out?

Response From chickenhouse

Did they tell you to bring it back when you picked it up or have you called them about this problem? Have you driven it since the repair? I the drip the same today or worse/better?

Response From gigirl

When I picked it up they said bring it back in a week just to check things out. Didn't notice any drips this morning. Hoping it's nothing to worry about.

Response From chickenhouse

I'm on your side- hope it's nothing to worry about! Just keep an eye on the temp gauge and don't let it overheat.

Response From gigirl

NO LEAKS! Car bone dry today. Stupid me, I think I saw a spot from before the job was done. I was just so paranoid.

Response From chickenhouse

Glad to hear it!! Never hurts to be safe and not sorry!! They may want to check the coolant just to make sure. Glad we could help.

Question From wesley1968 on dodge 360

i need the proper installation technique to install a intake manifold gasket thanx

Response From DanD Top Rated Answer

More or less what Tom said: torque the bolts to 25 foot pounds and here’s a diagram of the tightening sequence.

Response From Tom Greenleaf

Not much info here:

In general if only a gasket needed you take out the manifold and clean up both surfaces and put it back in but with torque and sequence to specs. I don't have them but you start retorquing from the middle and work your way out.

You could guess and it probably would work but I really suggest doing it right, T
