1) Do I need a torque wrentch to refit the bolts when I replace it, or can I just tighten it as much as possible
2) Will I need to bleed the system before refilling
Basically, is this a bigger job than it looks because at the moment it looks like 3 bolts, but I dont want to end up causing issues down the line.
Cheers!
No sweat, mate. Did mine a while back, simple job. Just remember, clean all mating surfaces, don't be too butch. I did not use a torque wrench, but be careful. The part is called " water outlet housing, TD5", cost me $ 45 in 2011, the gasket cost $ 5.50. Now is a good time to check the so called "secret hose", from the oil cooler to around the back of the engine. Good idea to take it off, and check the oil cooler spigot.You need to take off the turbo shield, to get at it. This hose is often ignored, because it is out of sight. If it is not in good nick, replace it. Best to remove the 10mm bolt in the bracket holding the pipe going around the back of the engine, to give yourself a bit of leverage. Bob
