Detailed Description

The Mahle G31812 throttle body mounting gasket is a direct-fit sealing component for vehicles including the Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Mazda 6, Mercury Milan, Mercury Mariner, Mazda Tribute, Lincoln Zephyr, Ford Taurus, and Mercury Sable.

Mahle gaskets are known for sealing products used by OEMs and technicians worldwide, and this gasket follows that approach with molded rubber construction and factory-level fitment.

What It Helps Address

• Air leaks at the throttle body mounting surface
• Rough idle caused by a compromised throttle body seal
• Unmetered air entering the intake system
• Vacuum-related drivability concerns at the throttle body joint
• Seal deterioration during throttle body service on Ford, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the throttle body and intake mating surfaces before installation and remove any old gasket material or contamination. Confirm the throttle body is seated evenly during reassembly so the molded rubber sealing surface can compress uniformly. For Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Ford Escape, Mazda 6, and related applications, verify the vehicle-specific service procedure before final assembly.
