Parts for your 2017 Suzuki Splash-Manifold gasket

2017 Suzuki Splash manifold-gasket — purpose, checks, and replacement tips

Yes, a manifold gasket is used on the 2017 Suzuki Splash. Technical references including the Suzuki Splash/Ritz workshop manual for K10B/K12B engines and the Suzuki OEM electronic parts catalogue list both an intake manifold gasket (sealing the intake manifold to the cylinder head) and an exhaust manifold gasket (sealing the exhaust manifold to the head). The 1.0 K10B and 1.2 K12B petrol engines, as well as the 1.3 DDiS diesel where fitted in some markets, all rely on these gaskets to maintain proper sealing and performance.

On this model, the intake manifold (plastic on the petrol engines) uses a moulded gasket to keep unmetered air out, which is crucial for smooth idle, good fuel economy, and correct fuel trims. The exhaust manifold gasket is typically a multi-layer steel or composite piece that keeps hot exhaust gases sealed until they reach the cat, stopping that tell-tale tick and preventing soot blow-by under the bonnet.
