FAQs

What does 'OE Quality' mean for this gasket set?

'OE Quality' signifies that the part meets or exceeds the standards set by the original vehicle manufacturer for the original part. It ensures equivalent or better performance and fit.

How do I ensure this gasket set is correct for my car?

Provide your full vehicle registration number (for UK customers) or Make, Model, Engine Size, and Date of Manufacture (for non-UK customers) when ordering. This allows us to verify fitment.

Do I need to replace the exhaust manifold itself when changing the gasket?

Not necessarily. The gasket should be replaced if it's leaking or damaged. The manifold itself only needs replacement if it is cracked, warped, or severely corroded.

What tools are needed to install this gasket set?

Installation typically requires standard automotive hand tools, including wrenches and sockets for manifold removal, a torque wrench for proper tightening, and potentially scrapers or abrasive pads for cleaning the mating surfaces.

Can I reuse my old exhaust manifold bolts?

It is generally recommended to replace exhaust manifold bolts, especially if they show signs of stretching, corrosion, or damage, as they are subjected to significant thermal cycling.

What is the warranty on this FAI gasket set?

This product is covered by a full OE Quality Warranty, offering peace of mind regarding its performance and durability.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leak detected after installation

Verify that the exhaust manifold bolts were tightened to the correct torque specifications in the proper sequence. Ensure both mating surfaces were perfectly clean and flat before gasket installation. Check the manifold and cylinder head for cracks or warping.

Ticking noise from the engine bay, especially on cold start

This often indicates a small exhaust leak. Re-check the gasket seal and bolt tightness. Ensure the correct gasket part number was used for the vehicle.

Reduced engine performance or fuel economy

An exhaust leak can negatively impact engine performance. Ensure the gasket provides a complete seal and that there are no other issues within the exhaust or engine management system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification:

Before purchasing, it is essential to confirm that the FAI Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set EM1009 is the correct part for your specific vehicle. Customers in the UK should provide their full vehicle registration number. Non-UK customers should supply the Make, Model, Engine Size (e.g., 2.0L), and Date of Manufacture. This information allows for a definitive check to ensure the part is correct before dispatch.

Installation:

Installation of an exhaust manifold gasket set requires mechanical expertise and appropriate tools. The exhaust manifold must be removed, and both mating surfaces (manifold and cylinder head) must be thoroughly cleaned of any old gasket material, carbon deposits, or corrosion. Ensure surfaces are perfectly flat and clean before fitting the new gasket and re-installing the manifold.

Care:

Once installed, exhaust manifold gaskets require no specific user care. Their longevity depends on proper installation and the absence of other exhaust system issues. Regular checks of the exhaust system for any signs of leaks or damage are recommended as part of general vehicle maintenance.
