Video tutorial
This operation is very delicate, so it is recommended for experienced individuals. You will need an 8mm and a 10mm socket wrench, and a flat-blade screwdriver. Remove the protective caps from the bolts on the cylinder head and unscrew the nuts. Open the oil cap and remove the plastic protections. Lift the connectors' clips for the spark plugs and remove the wiring harness. Also, remove all spark plug connectors and their anchoring support. Unscrew all the bolts of the valve cover and gently remove it. Carefully take off the gasket from the cover. Once the repair is complete, refit the cover ensuring it seals well against the cylinder head. Screw in all the bolts and reattach the spark plug connectors.

Frequently Asked QuestionsLocation of the Jack and Spare Wheel of the Toyota Yaris
In the unfortunate event that one of the wheels of the Toyota Yaris is punctured, it is useful to know the location of the lifting jack, the spare wheel, the tool to operate the jack, and to unscrew the wheel bolts. The jack is located under the driver's seat, secured to a bracket and protected by a plastic cover, which you can remove by acting on the fixing clips. The spare wheel is located under the floor panel of the boot, secured to the floor by a threaded plastic flange, alongside which you will find the tool, consisting of a bent bar, which is used to operate the jack on one side and to remove the wheel on the other. by ScegliAuto More videos
