Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have 07 Mustang gt about 62k miles right now.
Seems like I have similar issue with this thread.
https://mustangforums.com/forum/4-6l...t-leaking.html

I just got a inspection from the dealer while taking care of airbag recall.
Dealer told me that my coolant is leaking from intake manifold and need to change gasket. Coolant wetted belt and causing belt to crack. They quote me $700 for gasket change and clean, and another $90 for belt. Is it resonable? I was wondering if anyone had this issue too. I usually work on my car by myself, can I possibly do it by myself?

They also quote me inner tie rode and outer tie rod on one side for $260. Have little bit of oil leak, and oil leak detection will be $60. Too much money to spend..

Any input will be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

If it leaking between the plastic manifold and the head, then yeah, its somewhat simple to do. Belt even easier.
If you have to ask about how to do this, and don't have a good set of tools, you should consider having someone do it for you. While changing it is gravy work for an experienced tech, an unexperienced person getting his feet wet with it may find it a bit overwhelming. Making sure to get all air out of the cooling system is the harder part for the novice.
If done yourself $125 is all you may spend on parts.

theres a cross over seperate from the manifold.

probably still need to remove the manifold but its an easy removal and NOT worth $700 they want to charge

Anybody but a dealer. I would talk to another shop. Its not a difficult job.
