Chrysler Pacifica Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Tube Gaskets

Chrysler Pacifica Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) tube gaskets

Starting at $17.95, AutoBuffy stocks 4 EGR tube gaskets from Mopar and SKP. This small gasket seals the metal tube that routes exhaust gases back into the intake manifold for emissions control. When it fails, exhaust leaks at the joint, triggering rough idle, check-engine lights, and failed emissions tests.

Signs your Chrysler Pacifica needs a new EGR tube gasket

  • Check-engine light with EGR-related fault codes (commonly P0400–P0409 range) stored in the ECU
  • Rough or erratic idle caused by unmetered exhaust gas entering the intake stream through the leak
  • Hissing or ticking noise from the engine bay near the EGR tube connection, especially at cold start
  • Smell of exhaust fumes inside the cabin or under the hood while the engine is running
  • Failed state emissions inspection due to elevated NOx readings or an active EGR system fault code
  • Black soot or carbon deposits visible around the EGR tube fitting or on nearby intake components

Which EGR tube gasket should you buy for your Chrysler Pacifica?

EGR tube gaskets differ by material, construction, and whether they are sold as a single gasket or as part of a kit covering both ends of the tube. Matching the material to your engine's heat and pressure output is the most important decision. Multi-layer steel (MLS) gaskets suit high-heat applications, while graphite and composite gaskets work well on moderate-duty engines.

Graphite composite gasket
Best for
Older or moderate-duty engines with lower EGR tube temperatures
What you get
Good conformability to slightly uneven flanges, easy crush seal, cost-effective replacement
Multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket
Best for
High-output or turbocharged engines with elevated EGR heat and pressure
What you get
Superior heat and pressure resistance, long service life, precise fitment to machined flanges
Rubber-coated steel gasket
Best for
Daily drivers needing a balance of sealing reliability and affordability
What you get
Steel core prevents blowout, rubber coating fills minor surface imperfections, moderate heat rating
Full EGR tube gasket kit (both ends)
Best for
High-mileage vehicles or any repair where the tube is removed completely
What you get
Gaskets for both the intake-manifold and exhaust-manifold ends, eliminates partial-repair leaks

Replacing an EGR tube gasket on a Chrysler Pacifica

Moderate⏱ 1–2 hoursSocket set and ratchet (metric and SAE)Combination wrenches for tight flange accessPenetrating oil (for heat-seized EGR tube bolts)Gasket scraper or plastic trim tool for old gasket removalWire brush for cleaning flange surfaces

Begin by allowing the engine to cool completely, then disconnect any sensors or brackets obstructing access to the EGR tube before loosening the flange bolts at both ends. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly to remove all old gasket material and carbon buildup, as a clean flat surface is critical for a leak-free seal. Install the new gasket dry or with a thin film of high-temp gasket sealant if specified, then snug fasteners evenly in a cross pattern and run the engine to check for leaks before clearing any stored codes.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace EGR tube gaskets on a Chrysler Pacifica?
The gasket itself starts at $17.95 on AutoBuffy. Total repair cost depends on labor time and whether other EGR components need replacement. DIY repair keeps costs close to the part price alone, while a shop will add one to two hours of labor on top of the gasket cost.
Can I drive my Chrysler Pacifica with a leaking EGR tube gasket?
Short-term driving is possible but not advisable. A leaking EGR tube gasket allows hot exhaust gases to escape into the engine bay, which can damage nearby wiring, hoses, and plastic components. It will also keep a check-engine light active and may cause your Chrysler Pacifica to fail an emissions test.
How long does an EGR tube gasket last on a Chrysler Pacifica?
EGR tube gaskets typically last many years under normal driving conditions, but heat cycling, carbon buildup, and coolant or oil contamination can shorten their life significantly. Engines that run a lot of short trips or accumulate heavy carbon deposits tend to wear out EGR components, including gaskets, faster than average.
Do I need to replace the entire EGR tube when I replace the gasket on my Chrysler Pacifica?
Not always, but inspect the tube carefully before reusing it. If the tube shows cracks, heavy corrosion at the flange sealing surface, or warping that prevents a flat mate with the new gasket, replacement is the smarter choice. A new gasket on a damaged tube will likely leak again within a short period.
Will replacing the EGR tube gasket fix a P0400 or related code on my Chrysler Pacifica?
It may, if the fault code is caused by an exhaust leak at the tube joint rather than a failed EGR valve or blocked passages. Confirm the leak location first with a visual inspection or a smoke test. If soot or heat damage is concentrated at the tube fitting, a new gasket is the correct first repair.
Is replacing an EGR tube gasket on a Chrysler Pacifica a DIY job?
For most vehicles it is a moderate DIY task requiring basic hand tools and some patience working in a tight engine bay. The main challenges are seized fasteners due to heat and corrosion and limited access to the tube ends. Applying penetrating oil to bolts ahead of time and allowing soak time reduces the risk of broken hardware.
