Title: 2.2 throttle body gasket
Post by: Omega3 on 10 December 2009, 19:27:30

Just done the breathers and throttle body but managed to lose the new throttle body gasket I'd bought. Is there likely to be any detrimental effect if i run the car with the old gasket in place? Cheers

No, shouldn't be any problem, short-term.  If there is an air leak created, it'll be tiny and insignificant, as long as you torque up the fixings evenly.

as above should get away with it for a few days, i'd source another, its fairly easy to strip back down that far again  :y

Don't leave it too long  :)

Thanks for that. I've just sent the wife off to get another.
Original one in poor condition.
