In the engine block, the pistons of the cylinder head move up and down in cylinder holes. These pistons are connected to rods and a crankshaft that powers the vehicle.

The cylinder head is bolted to the top of the engine, and inside it, there are valves that open and close to allow air and fuel into the cylinders and expel exhaust gases. The head gasket is a component located between the engine block and the cylinder head, maintaining coolant and oil separation.

It can deteriorate and must be replaced in case of engine overheating.

Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
