Hi Mr. Kilmer! Long time viewer here and looking for some help looking for a part that I cannot find. I have a 2010 Kia Optima SX V6 and currently Took the Intake Manifold and need to change the gaskets that go to the Intake to the Plenum however I cannot seem to find the gaskets anywhere. The ones at auto part stores and online aren't the ones I need. Please help. I have pictures if you need them.
Man, I hate to use the "D" word, but have you tried... the dealer?
Lol not yet. Trying to avoid that if possible but it is looking like it might be my only option left.
Well, maybe they will at least kiss you afterwards. Sigh.
Hahha charged me $98.20 for the three gaskets and the Throttle Body Gasket.........Arm and a Leg rip off but got the parts I needed hopefully
Call the dealer and give them your VIN. They can also send you print out of the parts. Or possibly just go to the parts dept. at the dealer yourself.
Sigh yeah I figure that was the path I was gunna have to go down. If thats my only option left then I have no choice but to call em. Thank you guys a bunch!!
Is this the part you need?
You could also try a junkyard they might have some parts.
I would not use used gaskets. They are not reusable.
I did think about that but yeah I'm on board with getting used gaskets.
Ya, true didn't think about that.
