Before applying the new gasket to the intake manifold, thoroughly clean the gasket seating surfaces, both on the manifold side and the cylinder head side, to remove any dirt and deposits that could compromise the adhesion and sealing of the gasket; then insert the new gasket aligning it with the dowel pins on the cylinder head, position the manifold, and tighten the retaining nuts using a torque wrench.

This is a steel gasket that does not require gasket sealant.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Dacia Sandero?

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.
