Fiat Bravo - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Bravo - Years 1995-2001
Part: Engine
Operation: Engine head gasket replacement

Let's see together how to replace the engine head gasket. Remove the alternator belt and any accessory belt (power steering, air conditioner) and unscrew the spark plugs and relative cables. Once everything is free, you can remove the valve cover from the cylinder head and thus see the camshaft and the timing belt. The toothed belt and the engine block have two clearly visible reference notches; before removing the belt, the two notches must therefore match perfectly. Once you have found the right spot, you will need to lock the clutch flywheel, located under the oil pan and the toothed belt pulley, so that it does not move. This operation will help to find the top dead center, that is when the first piston will be at the highest point of its stroke. Particular attention must be paid to the cylinder base when tightening the cylinder head with the new gasket. To do this correctly you will need a torque wrench to tighten the screws with the right torque value.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
