079129717b - Replacement parts

The part number 079129717B refers to an Intake Manifold Gasket typically used in certain Volkswagen and Audi models. The intake manifold gasket serves as a seal between the intake manifold and the cylinder head. It ensures that the air-fuel mixture from the intake manifold enters the cylinders without leaks, preventing any loss of engine efficiency or the mixing of air with oil. A properly functioning gasket also helps maintain correct engine vacuum levels, preventing air from escaping or entering where it shouldn't.

If the gasket fails, it can cause engine misfires, poor performance, rough idling, or even engine overheating due to the imbalance in air-fuel ratios. Replacing a worn or damaged gasket can improve engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability.
