Replacement of the Rocker Cover Gasket

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Valve

Replacing the rocker cover gasket is an extremely simple operation that does not require special skills. Once the fixing bolts of the rocker cover are unscrewed, remove it from its seat and pull out the old gasket; then clean the gasket seat thoroughly, both under the cover and on the head, and apply the new gasket in the designated groove along the edges of the cover. Before repositioning the cover, apply gasket sealant at the engine supports and then position the cover and tighten the fixing bolts.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
