You're right. My bad.

PEU102770 is the correct part. And I'll take back what I said about not too expensive - they are selling for £280 ex vat in the UK.

Thanks - I saw that price too and nearly fell off my chair - it seems a lot for a bracket.

Will ring around and see if I can locate a good 2nd hand unit.

Not sure why the problem occurred - looks like either corrosion over a long period (unlikely) or a previous owner has cracked the part off when replacing the o-ring (looks like this as there is a rough fractured edge.

Anyway I'm glad I found the problem....a lot cheaper than a new engine.

When I replace the coolant I'll probably will use the Nulon red long life OAT as I can buy it locally unless there is a good reason not to?

Anyway 27 nm or 20 lb. ft.

I am aware that this is an old thread, but given that we encourage using the search feature and that this thread is one of the top results when doing so I thought it worth to update for future reference for anyone else who finds this thread when using the search feature looking for the correct torque setting, I would suggest reading https://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery...ml#post2655235 - 27NM does not seem to be the correct torque setting.

The engine mount brackets are speced at 48nm and they carry the weight of the engine.
the pas and coolant bracket is only sealing the O-ring between the block and supporting 20kg of pumps. So ply because Justin say M10 can be tightened to 50mn doesnt mean they need to be tightened to that setting...
