Hello,
The intake manifold is not part of your vehicle's cooling system, so using BarsAll will not fix the intake manifold gasket at all. Also, if your vehicle's intake manifold gasket was replaced by the dealership 1500 KM. ago and it is already failing, I would take my vehicle back and have it replaced under warranty. In the diagrams down below I have included a description of your vehicle's cooling system components and operation as well as the step by step instructions for the removal and installation of your vehicle's intake manifold gasket for you. Please go through these guides and let us know how everything turns out.
Thanks,
Alex
