Parts for your 2022 Honda Cr-v-Manifold gasket

2022 Honda CR‑V manifold-gasket: what it does and when to replace it

Based on Honda Service Information for the 2022 CR‑V and the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue, a manifold-gasket is definitely used on this model. Both the 1.5‑litre turbo petrol and the hybrid variants use an intake manifold gasket, and they also rely on exhaust-side sealing rings/gaskets at the turbo or primary converter interface. So the part is relevant to any 2022 Honda CR‑V.

The manifold-gasket’s main job is simple but crucial: keep things sealed. On the intake side it seals the plastic (or composite) intake manifold to the cylinder head so the engine only breathes air measured by the MAF sensor. On turbo models it also helps keep boost where it belongs. On the exhaust side, sealing rings or gaskets prevent hot gases from leaking before they reach the turbo or catalyst, keeping the engine quiet, efficient and compliant with emissions standards.

Owners typically won’t see a manifold-gasket on a regular service, but it matters any time the intake is removed—for carbon cleaning, injector work, or turbo/PCV attention. A tired intake manifold-gasket can cause rough idle, high long‑term fuel trims, a check engine light for lean mixture (often P0171), hard starting, or a whooshing/whistling under the bonnet. Exhaust leaks can sound like a tick on cold start, leave sooty marks near the joint, and add a sharp exhaust odour.

Best practice on a 2022 CR‑V is to replace the intake manifold-gasket whenever the manifold is off. Genuine Honda gaskets are moulded to suit the port shape and tend to seal first go. Avoid adding sealant unless the service manual expressly calls for it.

• Inspect at 100,000–150,000 km or whenever the intake is disturbed.
• Clean both mating faces, don’t scratch the plastic manifold flange.
• Follow the Honda torque specs and tightening sequence to prevent warping.
• On turbo models, check adjacent boost hoses and PCV lines while you’re there.
• After reassembly, confirm fuel trims and idle quality with a scan tool.

For exhaust-side gaskets on the turbo or front converter, the rule’s the same: single‑use. Replace any crushed metal gasket or ring seal when the joint is opened. Doing so keeps the CR‑V quiet, efficient, and easy on fuel—just how owners in Australia and New Zealand like it.

Popular questions

Does the 2022 Honda CR‑V actually have a manifold-gasket?
Yes. Honda Service Information and the Honda parts catalogue list an intake manifold gasket for the 1.5‑litre turbo and hybrid engines, plus exhaust‑side gaskets/seals at the turbo or catalyst interface. It’s a normal wear item that’s replaced when disturbed.

What are common signs a manifold-gasket is leaking on a 2022 CR‑V?
On the intake side: rough idle, lean fault codes, high fuel trims, hesitation, and a faint hiss. On the exhaust side: a ticking noise on cold start, exhaust odour in the engine bay, and soot near the joint. Any of these warrant inspection and likely gasket replacement.

How often should it be replaced and what does it cost?
There’s no fixed interval, replace the gasket whenever the manifold or related hardware is removed. Labour varies with engine and workshop, typically around 1.0–2.5 hours for intake work. The gasket itself is inexpensive, using genuine parts and correct torque procedure helps avoid repeat work.
