Aygo 1L Head Gasket Replacement 2009

[nickp1]

Hi All, 

I have had a little search around but cannot see any info on this, sorry if i have missed this. 

I have acquired to my driveway a little 2009 1.0 Aygo with a gone head gasket. 

It does start at present, but blows back through the cooling system, and there is oil in water / water in oil with the old mayo in the oil cap. 

Local garage have quoted the owner £1100 for the head gasket replacement, which he cant afford, so i offered to help out with the job, i have changed a few head gaskets on other cars and do all work myself (we have a corolla verso so have some experience with Toyota's - 5th gear failure etc). 

Im just looking for advice from anyone who may have done the job themselves, as to rough timescales / things to be aware of etc. 

Im going to try and lay hands on a service manual, to see if i need anything particular to start the job. 

Any advice you guys can offer, i would be grateful of. 

thanks in advance

the repair manual is chargeable you pay for a set amount of time

you will be able to read the manual and make a note of torque setting and see any procedures that

As old school as it sounds they do a Haynes workshop manual for the Aygo could be the best £20 you you ever spend 👍🏻
