How to Replace the Rocker Cover Gasket on the Fiat Panda?

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the rocker cover gasket on the Fiat Panda, open the bonnet to detach the clips securing the air filter box. This can then be completely removed, allowing you to also detach the cover from the top of the engine block. This will give you access to the rocker cover, which is secured with four screws, one of which is hidden by the oil cap. Once the screws are loosened, open the cover and remove the underlying gasket, applying the new one. After installation, refit all components that were removed.
