This video describes how to replace the cylinder head gasket of an engine if it is excessively worn due to age. Open the bonnet of the car and locate the engine cover; it is easy to recognise as it is connected to the four valves. Carefully unscrew all the bolts securing the cover to the cylinder head, remembering any cable connections.

Once everything is unscrewed, lift the cover and turn it over to the side that contacts the cylinder head; this is where the gasket runs along the edge to prevent heat dispersion, and replace it. Additionally, replace the four rubber rings at the entrance of the valve ducts.

Refit everything.

The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
