Engine head gasket replacement

Model: Dodge Charger LX - Years 2006-2011
Part: Engine head

Overheating is the main cause of damage to the engine head gasket. The following guide gives us useful information on how to replace it. First of all, the engine must be emptied of oil, the alternator belt and any accessory belt removed. The toothed belt and the engine block have two clearly visible reference notches, so before removing the belt it will be necessary that the two notches match perfectly. Particular attention must be paid when tightening the cylinder head, with the new gasket on the cylinder base. To do this correctly you will need a torque wrench to tighten the screws with the right torque value. At this point the timing belt can be replaced and everything can be reassembled.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
