Question: price for intake manifold gasket and relation to check engine light
Question
Visitor, 1.8L 4 Cylinder, New Orleans, LA, December 15, 2010, 04:43
check engine light came on yesterday. Took car to dealership and they said the intake manifold gasket needed to be replaced. Also said fuel mixture was lean. Car had 1/4 tank of gas at the time. Is this diagnosis correct. They want $270 to change the gasket

TechnicianWithout looking at it I could not confirm the diagnosis. A leaking intake manifold gasket could cause a lean condition and the check engine light to come on.
However it would seem that a vehicle that new should be covered under a warranty, Either the vehicle manufacturers warranty, or the federal emissions warranty.
I would suggest looking into the warranty, and if you do fall outside of that, then $270 is about what I would expect that kind of repair to cost.Flag ThisLike0
