Torque values required

[Santa2512]

Hi,

 

Ive just taken the thermostat unit off to repalce with a brand new one, and lo and behold, Haynes do not specify a torque value for refitting the unit

 

The give 10Nm for the  thermostat cover, but nothing for the housing to cylinder head.

 

 

Any ideas? i'm kinda stuck now lol

What size are the bolts in question, M6? If so 10Nm would be fine, I'd say.

14mm i think  i'd need to nip out and check

Ah, probably M8, 13mm spanner then? I'd go 15-20Nm in that case.  That's based on the Fabia manual saying 20Nm for the 1.4 OHV engine, which is rather similar to yours I believe.

Exhast manifold to head was 25Nm

 

Looking at the housing it its glassfilled nylon with  steel bushes.

 

I went 25Nm    

 

Thanks for the quick reply
