Replacing the Cylinder Head Gasket
Model: Citroen Xsara
MK 1
- Years 1997-2006
When replacing the cylinder head gasket, it is good practice to have the head itself skimmed to eliminate any warping caused by overheating; after skimming, check the flatness of the surface using a straight edge and a feeler gauge for valves; perform the same check on the cylinder block. Using a tap, re-thread the bolt holes for the head, ensuring no debris ends up in the cylinders. At this point, apply the new gasket and the head, using a new set of bolts to secure it, tightening them in a cross pattern with both a torque wrench and a calibrated spanner.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?
To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube. by ScegliAuto More videos
