Cylinder Head Bolt Replacement

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Engine

When removing the cylinder head to replace the gasket, it is preferable to use a new set of bolts to secure it; before doing so, re-thread the bolt holes using a tap of the appropriate diameter and thread pitch, taking care not to let shavings fall into the cylinders. At this point, place the new gasket, the cylinder head, and use the new bolt kit applying grease to the tip of the thread and under the head: then use a torque wrench and a calibrated wrench to tighten the bolts following a cross pattern.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
