Disclosed is an air intake manifold including a heat exchanger built into its body and including at least two ducts for supplying and removing heat-exchange liquid, the ducts extending through the wall of the body of the manifold with a liquid-tight seal and an airtight seal, which are distinct and mutually offset along the longitudinal axis of the relevant duct being created on each of the ducts. The unit creating the liquid tight seal is arranged between the relevant duct and a circulation pipe connected to the free end of the duct. The unit creating the airtight seal is positioned between the relevant duct and the body of the distributor. A leakage path associated with the liquid-tight seal is created between the latter and the airtight seal.

The present invention concerns a removable sleeve () intended for being positioned on a fixing screw and produced from an elastically deformable material, characterised in that it has: a first cylindrical portion () with a constant internal diameter substantially equal to the external diameter of the shaft of said screw, this portion being extended by a second flared cylindrical portion () provided on the external peripheral surface of same with at least first and second axially separated rings of lugs (), an axial insertion slot () extending over the entire height of said sleeve () and wide enough to allow it to be mounted on the shaft of said screw and to be held there, at least one partial axial slot (') extending over a portion of the height of said sleeve () from the flared end of same.

Disclosed is an intake distributor for an internal combustion engine that includes an integrated heat exchanger. This exchanger includes a support plate that ensures its rigid mounting in the distributor and peripheral seal that form an essentially continuous circumferential airtight barrier between the exchanger and the distributor, peripherally dividing the interstitial volume into two. The subdivision plane of the interstitial volume is perpendicular in relation to the plane of the support plate, and the peripheral seal consist of two complementary components that are connected to one another and made integral with the exchanger.
