In this video, you will see how to remove and replace the cylinder head cover gasket on a second series Fiat Punto. First, lift the engine bonnet and unscrew the screws of the air filter to also remove the airbox and the intake hose. Then disconnect the rubber hose and the electrical connector and unscrew the screws of the cylinder head cover: simply remove the old gasket and replace it. Before refitting the new gasket, clean the gasket seat thoroughly and then reassemble it, ensuring it fits correctly in all points.
