Lower Intake Manifold gasket replacement $$$???

[GaryFenza]

I Need to get the Lower Intake Manifold Gasket changed, due to leaking of coolent on outside of engine. How much is this going to cost me roughly within a 100$ estimate with labor and all. Average mechanic cost.


thanks

Must be a 3.1L?? Ha! they leak like the sh*it! But oh, the leak issue has been fixed- or so I've been told. Yea, it sucks and it always happens in winter....
A neighbor of mine gave me a deal on my kids car- 250.00. I think the dealer charges 700.00- so get the best deal and the newer gaskets if your vehicle >1995.

most charge $400-$600, and make sure they use the improved design metal/rubber gaskets instead of the junk OEM plastic/rubber. Have them change the t-stat and oil pump drive oil seal while the intake is off, as it's very difficult to do with it in place.
