Parts for your 2007 Ford Fiesta-Manifold gasket

2007 Ford Fiesta manifold gasket — fitment, purpose and service advice

A manifold gasket is absolutely relevant and fitted to the 2007 Ford Fiesta. Both the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold use gaskets across the Fiesta’s common 2007 engines (Duratec-Sigma petrol and Duratorq TDCi diesel). This is confirmed by factory service literature and mainstream repair manuals, which specify renewing the gasket whenever the manifold is removed and following a set tightening sequence.

• Ford Fiesta 2002.25–2008.75 Workshop Manual (TIS): Sections covering Intake Manifold — Removal/Installation and Exhaust Manifold — Removal/Installation specify new gaskets on refit and torque/sequence use.
• Haynes Ford Fiesta Petrol & Diesel (2002–2008) Manual: Intake and exhaust manifold procedures note gasket renewal and bolt sequence.
• Ford ETIS/Microcat parts catalogue: Lists dedicated intake and exhaust manifold gaskets for 2007 Fiesta variants.
• Autodata service information: Manifold fastener sequences and the instruction to replace gaskets once disturbed.

On a 2007 Fiesta, the manifold gasket’s job is simple but crucial: it seals the join between the manifold and the cylinder head so air, fuel and exhaust gases go exactly where they should. The intake manifold gasket keeps unmetered air out so the engine doesn’t run lean
