R65 coolant leak

Vox Populi · 10-13-2011, 02:25 PM

I have a 2008 R65 that has developed a coolant leak around a connecting plate where coolant flows from one cylinder head the the other. Part number for the connecting plate is V836855348 and the gasket part number is V836867752. Has anyone else experienced this leak? Is it possible to change the gasket without removing the exhaust manifold? The plate looks like it is wedged in tight between the head and the exhaust manifold. I'm thinking the vibration of the exhaust might have contributed to the gasket failing. A lot of bean dust collected around that plate.

I experienced that leak before and I immediately brought it to the auto repair shop. I replaced my gasket and changed it to victor gaskets. As far as I remember, he removed the exhaust manifold.
