To replace the valve cover gasket, first detach some connectors as shown in the initial images. Next, disconnect the connector supplying power to the coils and then unscrew the entire block of the coils.

Now that you have space, proceed to unscrew the screws of the valve cover. Once the cover is removed, clean the entire edge where the new gasket will sit. Then disassemble the internal baffle of the cover.

The gasket has a small protrusion that must be positioned on the same side as the one you removed. Refit the internal cover onto the engine, insert the spacers, and reattach the valve cover with the new gasket.

Refit the coils with their connector and all other connectors or hoses you detached. Car model: Citroen C2.
