Freelander 1 TD4 Inlet Manifold Gasket.

MULDERKE · Jan 29, 2020

Hello all.
Looking to change the two seals on the high pressure fuel regulator. In doing so I think I need to remove the Inlet manifold to gain access. I removed it a couple of years ago to fit a EGR blanking kit and clean out the the manifold changing the the gaskets at that point. My question is, are these re-usable? or do I need to replace them when doing this job. Just so I can source them before starting the task.
Any hints and tips welcome from Pals that have done this job before.
Thanks for your time on this as always.
Gary.

Easy to change, quite reusable but I would change it because they are not very expensive.
They rarely leak though...

Re-usable I have never renewed any of the seal to the manifold, and I change these manifolds on a regular basis for the R40 members doing two only last week, when you change the O-rings on the HPFP make sure you add the three O-rings not just two.

Once you have added the O-rings give then a smear with some diesel fuel before fitting.

The O rings appear to be a form of silicone rubber material, which doesn't hold a deformation, so are almost infinitely reusable.

Great replies as always. Thanks for posting up.
Just need some good weather to get the job done.
