How to Replace the Valve Cover Gasket on a Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the valve cover gasket on a Ford Fiesta, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. You will need to remove the ignition coils from their housings, followed by the spark plugs underneath. At this point, loosen the screws that secure the valve cover so that it can be completely detached. Now, remove the gasket located at the base of the cover, allowing you to insert a new one while reassembling all previously removed components.
