1.9 DG engine
L shaped pipe between thermostat and water pump. This pipe bolts to the water pump with flange and O ring.
Do the two bolts [Allen Key headed] have a torque setting? Cannot find one anywhere.
Thanks

Re: Pipe to water pump
Never bothered with any setting. If l recall there is a large o'ring in a groove on water pump side. I also add a smear of high temp silicone gasket like K2 and nip it up firmly.
BTW the last time l replaced a waterpump my local plumber's shop gave (buckshee) me the correct size o'ring. Worked a treat.

Re: Pipe to water pump
Thanks. Assumed as none given in books there was not a specific torque. Already assembled with new o ring just thought I would check before filling upmaxstu wrote: ↑26 Sep 2021, 22:46 Never bothered with any setting.
