Before applying the new bolts, check the thread pitch with a thread gauge, select the corresponding tap, and re-tap the threaded holes, taking care not to let any chip debris fall into the cylinders. Then apply the new cylinder head gasket, the cylinder head, and the new bolts, to which sealing paste should be applied under the bolt head and on the thread shaft; the bolts should first be tightened with a properly calibrated torque wrench following a cross pattern, and then completed with a torque spanner: this is a very important sequence.

The tyre pressure warning light that appears on the instrument cluster of the Dacia Sandero can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar. Once the inflation is complete, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster to find the option related to the tyres: select this with the OK button, which should then be held down for a few seconds to completely turn off the light.
