Xu9j4 Throttle Body Gasket

Recommended Posts

Ive been told by two pug dealers that the throttle body to inlet manifold gasket for the Mi16 has been discontinued. Does anyone know anywhere else I can get one?

What exactly is it made from? Hard to tell quite what mine was. Looked like a cross between rubber and cardboard or maybe the years of heat have made it like that! I wonder if that instant gasket stuff would be sufficient?

It's quite a durable gasket as far as card-like gaskets go, I've had my throttle body off loads of times and always reused it. Sealant should be ok there as there should be any fuel there and minimal oil.

x2 and if you really wanted a gasket as well as instant gasket just cut a template out of a corn flake box, but the instant gasket should be enough.

Ive reused them countless times on standard tbs but this one has been used with an audi/vw throttle body and its ended up in several parts. I'll give citroen a go and if they cant help I'll cut some gasket card or cornflakes box card up I suppose.
