Vivaro valve cover gasket replacement & messing it up!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- When we changed Vinnies clutch and gearbox we notice oil all down the back of the engine. Most of it seemed to be coming from the valve cover gasket. The breather/filler was also covered in oil so we had a look at that too.
We decided to replace it and here's how we did it. It didn't all go to plan by the way.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!
Ive just bought a 2006 1.9 vivaro and love that ive just found your channel when i looked for hazzard switch replacement. I can learn loads now, my locks spin too.
Thanks, I think it's a common issue that the keys don't match, because the ignition locks fail quite often.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop i look forward to learning things for my vivaro from you. Mine is called Kubo.
@@thepoolman2528 Thanks 👍, I hope Kubo is kind to you 🤞
The breather pipe wore through on mine, had a hole in it and a lot of oil down the back
Wow, what a pain 🙄.
Great videos,helped me out alot .shame the majority of mechanics rip everyone off .sad . Thank you very much .
Thanks, no problems, glad it was of some help 👍. It's hard to find a good mechanic.
Do you know when you should and shouldn't use sealant with gaskets? I've got this van and not sure whether to use sealant AS WELL AS the rubber gasket when refitting the sump. Also not sure whether you use sealant when replacing the turbo and metal gaskets. I assume you wouldn't use it with the metal gasket on the EGR valve for example
Rubber gaskets shouldn't need sealant although sometimes it's advisable to put a little bit in tight corners and one the casing joins. The metal gaskets shouldn't need anything either but I have been known to put a smidge of exhaust paste on in the difficult areas just in case.
Good as new 😊

Thanks Fred👍
what size helicoil repair did you need to fix this? ive just done exactly the same :(
Sorry for the late reply, UA-cam is doing weird things with comments on the channel?
It was an M6 helicoil.
@@LarcsWorkshop yep, just fixed mine yesterday with one 👍
@@MrMwellington 👍
i have done this couple of times.Renault really have made this bad.This bolt needs to be torqued to 10NM.
Any videos on changing the shocks
No, not yet anyway 🤞😂
Personally I never use a ratchet to start tightening or undoing nuts and bolts where I can for thus very reason. You got no feedback with a ratchet
👍
feedback? what is that on bolts and nuts? i've been repairing Jags for over 40 years, mostly with ratchets ONLY, manual, air and electric, never thought of that..
